Marja-Liisa, Marja-Liisa, isän, äidin nukki,
kun sa synnit, lehdot lauloi,
kaikki ruusut kukki.
Kaikki seisoi kumminasi kansa kukkakuinen.
Marja-Liisa, Marja-Liisa, polven korkehuinen.

Vienon virran yllä leijaa korentoa kaksi,
kuka tietää kelle joudut lautsan laulajaksi.
Arkipäivän sunnuntaiksi lienet tupaan tuotu.
Marja-Liisa, Marja-Liisa, auringosta luotu.
