SKVR textEnglish
Kun lehmät päästetään ensikerran ulos, annetaan niille navetassa leivänpaloja, joihin on luettu 3 kertaa sanat:
1Jesus sulki suren suun,Jesus closed the wolf's mouth,
2Jesus tiäsi tiakan tiän,Jesus knew the narrow path,
3Jesus karkota kankahalle,Jesus drove [it] to the heath,
4Petlehemin poikain tykö,to the boys of Bethlehem,
sitte ei susi koske. Tämä koskee mitä karjaa tahansa.
