| The farmer went upwards, alone he went |
| It was morning and rain was pouring down |
| Without his son, which he loved |
| To look for their animals at Flo |
| When he to Flatendn came |
| He saw a gathering of people |
| After a while when he realized what was going on |
| He put his hand to the chest and prayed to our lord |
| A corpse carry he witnessed |
| He wondered for whom the gathering was |
| When it came closer he got the answer |
| Inside the coffin lay the father of Great farmer |
| Ghastly white, groomed, dead was he |
| The farmer said nothing about the dismal happening |
| Should Death really take the Great farmer’s father? |
| Two nights passed and the farmer got the answer |
| 'Cause the night after, Death took the Great farmer’s father |
| The corpse carry was right |
| The father was dead |
