Herr Holkin 
Herr Holkin han haver lockat mig 
Villa rosor mig lova 
Att jag skulle giva honom min tro 
Med de andra de sova där leker han en afton 
 
Och haver herr Holkin lockat dig 
Så ska do mer aldrig bo hos mig 
 
Och drottningen ville sina tärnor lära 
Allt huru de skulle försvara sin ära 
 
Ack om jag hade mig en fulltrogen vän 
Som budena bar till herr Holkin ikväll 
 
Falska tärnan var så snar att svara 
Och vill ingen ann` skall jag budena bära 
 
Och när hon kom till Holkins gård 
Ute för henne herr Holkin står 
 
Liten Kerstin haver mig till dig sänt 
Hon bad ni skulle rida till henne ikväll 
 
Hon haver eder fött en dotter 
Hon är långt svartare än svartaste jord 
 
Och skänk henne dessa vinflaskor in 
Bed henne dricka all sorg you're sitt sinn 
 
Bed henne varken sörja eller kvida 
Imorgon så vill jag till henne rida 
 
Falska tärnan gångar till sjöastrand 
Där drack hon you're vinet och tömde I vann` 
 
Herr Holkin han skänkte de vann`flaskor in 
Ty aldrig så vill han till eder rida 
 
Herr Holkin han var ej långt därifrån 
Han hörde väl efter hur talet skull gå 
 
Kersti vänd dig ej bort från mig 
Jag har väl ej ämnat att svika dig 
 
Falska tärnan skall levande sättas I jord 
Som velat förråda så menlöst blod 
 
Herr Holkin 
"Herr Holkin has my favour won 
Promise me wild roses - 
To pledge my heart to him alone." 
While the others are asleep he`s at play in the evening
 
"And if Herr Holkin has won your heart, 
From me and my home you must depart." 
 
And the queen would all her maidens warn 
And teach them to keep their honour from harm 
 
"Oh had I a trusty friend and true 
To carry word to Herr Holkin now!" 
 
The falsest maid was quick to speak: 
"It`s I am the messenger you seek." 
 
And when she came to Herr Holkin`s home, 
Before her stood Holkin all alone. 
 
"I`m sent by Kerstin to you to say 
You must ride to her ere the close of day. 
 
"She has born a daughter to you today, 
And she is blacker than the blackest clay." 
 
"Then give to her these bottles of wine 
To drink all sorrow away from her mind. 
 
"Tell her no more to grieve or sorrow, 
And I will ride to her tomorrow." 
 
Then the wine from the bottles this false maid drank 
And filled them with water by the riverbank. 
 
"This water is a token Herr Holkin sent 
That he never will ride to you again." 
 
Herr Holkin stood not far away 
And heard every word that this maiden did say. 
 
"O Kerstin, don`t turn away from me. 
Untrue to you I will never be."
