Saat multa horsman
Se rentun ruusu on
(rentun ruusu on)
Sen poimin tuolta maantien ojasta
Saat multa horsman
Se rentun ruusu on
(rentun ruusu on)
Kuin juoppolalli tuli pojasta

Olen viikon ollut tiettömällä tiellä
Rapakosta krapulassa heräsin
Eivät ruusut kuki eikä tuoksu siellä
Yhden horsman mukaan keräsin

Sinne maantien ojaan viimein taju sammui
Niin kuin sika röhkin kuravedessä
Sittisontiainen pörräs lehmä ammui
Paluu arkeen oli edessä

Saat multa horsman
Se rentun ruusu on
(rentun ruusu on)
Sen poimin tuolta maantien ojasta

Tämä horsmankukka on kuin antajansa
Rikkaruoho elon yrttitarhassa
Voiko muuta tuoda renttu reissultansa
Hortoiltuaan kauan harhassa
Tämän lahjan annan silti sydämestä
Niin kuin anteekspyynnön katumuksenkin
Pian se kuihtuu ei se maljakossa kestä
Niin käy joka lupauksenkin

Saat multa horsman
Se rentun ruusu on
(rentun ruusu on)
Sen poimin tuolta maantien ojasta

Saat multa horsman
Se rentun ruusu on
(rentun ruusu on)
Sen poimin tuolta maantien ojasta
