Bittida en morgon innan solen upprann
Innan foglarna började sjunga
Bergatroliet friade till fager ungersven
Hon hade en falskeliger tunga
Herr Mannelig, herr Mannelig trolofven i mig
För det jag bjuder sã gerna
I kunnen väl svara endast ja eller nej
Om i viljen eller ej
Eder vill jag gifva de gãngare tolf
Som gã uti rosendelunde
Aldrig har det varit nagon sadel uppã dem
Ej heller betsel uti munnen
Eder vill jag gifva förgyllande svärd
Som klingar utaf femton guldringar
Och strida huru I strida vill
Stridplatsen skolen i väl vinna
Sãdana gãfvor jag toge väl emot
Om du vore en kristelig qvinna
Men nu sã är du det värsta bergatroll
Af Neckens och djävulens stämma
Bergatrollet ut pã dörrren sprang
Hon rister och jämrar sig svãra
Hade jag fatt den fager ungersven
Sã hade jag mistat min plãga
