Τούτ' τη γης την έσκαψα

Τούτ' τη γης την έσκαψα

Τούτ’ τη γης, ντελή-Ρωμιά, τούτ’ τη γης την έσκαψα
τούτ’ τη γης την έσκαψα με δυασιμομάχαιρα.

Κι όσο χώ- κι αμάν, αμάν, κι όσο χώμα έβγαλα
κι όσο χώμα έβγαλα, στην ποδιά μου το ’βαλα.

Γεφυρά- ντελή-Ρωμιά, γεφυράκι στέριωσα
γεφυράκι στέριωσα, να περνάν οι κοπελιές.

Να μαζε- κι αμάν, αμάν, να μαζεύουν τις ελιές,
τις ελιές τις μάσανε και μας το χαλάσανε.
