Βασιλικός θα γίνω

Βασιλικός θα γίνω

Bασιλικός θα γίνω στο παραθύρι σου
κι ανύπαντρος θα μείνω για το χατήρι σου.

Έλα, έλα με τ' εμένα
να περνάς χαριτωμένα.

[Σγουρέ βασιλικέ μου γιατί μαράθηκες
ποιος σ' έβαλε σε λόγια και μ' απαράτησες.

Έλα, έλα το πουλί μου
τώρα που 'μαι μοναχή μου

Τέσσερα πορτοκάλια τα δυο σαπίσανε
ήρθα για να σε πάρω και δε μ' αφήσανε.

Έλα, έλα σα σου λέγω
μη με τυρρανείς και κλαίγω.]
