A fair haired maiden gets a long-awaited comb from her brother but drops it into the sea, never to be found again.
lyrics
Emo synnytti minua, mie vaan syitä synnyttelin.
Emo hellytti minua, mie vaan hiusta hellyttelin.
Iso kasvatti minua, mie vaan kassan kasvatin.
Kasvo miulle kassa pitkä, kassa pitkä, tukka tuima.
Sulpahti suka merohon, päätyi lauta laineen alle,
Kampani kalavetehen, sukani kiven rakohon
Mie vaan tyttö pikkarainen, matalainen marjukkainen,
Katalainen karpaloinen, alahainen armotoinen
Istuin maahan itkemähän, kiven päälle kiljumaan.
Kävin itkien kotihin, kollotellen kartanolle.
