by Johan Nordahl Brun Rolfsen (1848 - 1928)

Fola fola blakken
Language: Norwegian (Bokmål) 
Fola fola blakken
Nu er blakken god og træt;
Blakken skal bli god og mæt
Aa fola fola blakken!
Uf den leie bakken
og den lange, stygge hei!
Den var rigtig dryg for dig,
du gamle, gamle blakken.

Far han kasted frakken;
Blakken kan ei kaste sin;
Svetter i det gamle skind,
Den snille, snille blakken!
Snart skal blakken sove,
Ikke mer slit i dag,
Ikke mer sælegnag!
Og ikke mer trave

Fola fola blakken!
Går du ind i stallen din
Kommer vesle gutten ind
Og klapper dig på nakken.
Ser du gutten smile?
Hører du det bud han har?
Han skal hilse dig fra far:
I morgen skal du hvile

Drøm om det du blakken:
Bare æde, bare staa,
Kanske rundt på tunet gaa
Med vesle gut paa nakken.
