The full lyrics
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.
