Schwesterlein, Schwesterlein, wann gehn wir nach Haus?
»Morgen wenn die Hahnen krähn,
Wolln wir nach Hause gehn,
Brüderlein, Brüderlein, dann gehn wir nach Haus.«

 ... 

Schwesterlein, Schwesterlein, wohl ist es an der Zeit.
»Mein Liebster tanzt mit mir,
Geh ich, tanzt er mit ihr,
Brüderlein, Brüderlein, laß du mich heut.«

Schwesterlein, Schwesterlein, was bist du so blaß?
»Das macht der Morgenschein
Auf meinen Wangen fein,
Brüderlein, Brüderlein, die vom Taue naß.«

Schwesterlein, Schwesterlein, du wankest so matt?
»Suche die Kammertür,
Suche mein Bettlein mir
Brüderlein, Brüderlein, 's wird unterm Rasen sein.«

Zusje lief, zusje lief, wanneer gaan wij naar huis?
"Morgenvroeg als kraait de haan,
Zullen wij naar huis toe gaan,
Broertje lief, broertje lief, dan gaan wij naar huis."

 ... 

Zusje lief, zusje lief, het is nu tijd.
"Mijn liefste danst met mij,
Ga ik, met haar danst hij.
Broertje lief, broertje lief, geef mij respijt."

Zusje lief, zusje lief, wat zie je wit!
"Dat doet het ochtendlicht,
't Neemt kleur van mijn gezicht,
Broertje lief, broertje lief, daar er dauw op zit."

Zusje lief, zusje lief, je valt bijna neer!
" 'k Zoek net de kamerdeur,
'k Zoek net mijn bedje weer,
Broertje lief, het zal fijn onder d' aarde zijn."
