De zun ston leeg,
de dag was muid
en ik zat in slootswaal.
Ik was nog mor twaalf,
mor toun haar ik dat aal.
t Gevuil dat ales om ons tou
meer is dan wat ie zain.
Ik zat doar allinneg
mor k was nait allain.
En in de verte heurde ik
'n koekoek.
't Was hoast onecht.
Mor oet de vledder vlak bie mie
kwam 'n antwoord.
Tou ging ik stoan
en toun was 't doan.
Mit klompen ien haand
dwaars deur t gruinlaand
ben ik noar hoes tou goan.
t Gras was aal nat.
Deur de dook kwam de moan.
O haar ik vrouger waiten,
hou snel of alles ging.
Dus is t nou n noodsprong,
dat ik dit hier zing.
