Ane Madam (Trøndelag Version)


Se vinden den frisker jo opp i fra nord,
   - Aa haa - Ane Madam!
kom skynd dokker gutter vi må om bord
   - Aa haa - Ane Madam!

*2*
Vør los for lengst kommer er alt ombord
hør nøye hver mann etter losens ord.

*3*
Og naar vi har hevet de ankrene ind,
vi seiler ut byfjorden for en god vind.

*4*
Så reiste vi råen på høyen mast
hør etter styrmannen roper: Sett fast.

*5*
Nei enda så er vi en tomme igjen
nå fór visst den råen til himmelen.
