The viola is picked when

1. The viola is picked, ; When the evening dew falls, ; They give it to the shepherd, ; When the cow is driven. ; ; 2. At three houses, six stoves, ; I walk together, it is not yet evening. ; If there is no evening, there is a breeze, ; Get out of it, fresh breeze. ; ; 3. Who does not love his master, ; Let him cook carrots, ; Salt and pepper him well, ; So that even the cold shakes him off. ; ; 4. Shake him until, shake him until, ; Until he gives up his soul. ; Let his hands and feet break ; If his hands and feet break, ; Throw him into the puddle.         - to the melody of line 4 ; ; &nbsp,
