As can compare
With King Cole and his fiddlers three.

daar waar my Sarie woon.
Daar onder in die mielies by die groen doringboom,
daar woon my Sarie Marais,
daar onder in die mielies by die groen doringboom,
daar woon my Sarie Marais.
Ek
was so bang dat die Kakies my sou vang
en ver oor die see wegstuur;
Toe vlug ek na die kant van die Upington se sand,
daar onder langs die Grootrivier.
Herhaal:
O bring my terug

Pappie vang hul aan die hoek,

Hy pluk aan sy toompie

Toe, roer jou, Jandooi,

Hans is in die huis nie meer
Hoor nou net, moeder sug
Hardloop gou-gou terug.
