Όλη μέρα θέριζα

Listen

Όλη μέρα θέριζα

Όλη μέρα θέριζα, όλο βοριάς, όλο βοριάς κι αγέρας
και το βρα- τζόγια μου, και το βράδυ γύριζα.

Και το βράδυ γύριζα σα δού- καλέ, σα δούλος μουσαφίρης,
βρίσκω τη, τζόγια μου, βρίσκω τη γυναίκα μου,

βρίσκω τη γυναίκα μου με άλλον τρώει και πίνει,
με το θάρρος άπλωσα ’πο μέσα από το πιάτο.
Παίρνει το φουρνόξυλο μου δίνει μια στην πλάτη,
μου ’σπασε τα κόκαλα και την τρανή κοκάλα.
Όταν έχω γω δουλειά, κατσε κούνα τα παιδιά,
όταν έχω γω το φίλο, κάτσε όξω με το σκύλο.
