from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Mont' on mulla morsianta
 (Sung text for setting by Y. Kilpinen)
 Matches base text
Language: Finnish (Suomi) 
Mont' on mulla morsianta, 
neljä neittä tieossani,
vielä viieski varalla, 
kanssa kuues kuuluvissa. 

Yks' on tuolla Toivolassa, 
Niemelässä neiti toinen, 
kolmansi Kotalahella, 
neljäs Neitolan kylällä.

En taia sitä epäillä,
en pelänne ensinkänä,
ett' ei ota onkeheni,
kala viiestä ve'estä,
osaavasti onkiessa,
koukun konstin laskiessa;

vaan sitä epäelenki,
sitä pelkeän pahasti,

ett'en saa ma ensimmäistä
tuolta Toivolankylästä.
