Haia, Kindken, ik waige di, haia!
Härr ik en Stöcksken, dann slaig ike di, haia!
Dai di dat waih, dat joammerde mi, haia,
Dorum si ruhig dann frai ike mi, haia, haia!

Haia, Kindken, ik waige di, haia,
Wör ik so mäu nich, dann draig ike di, haia,
Wör ike du, un du waigedes mi, haia,
Slaip ik al lange, dat glaiwe du mi!
Haia, haia, Slaop!
