You can help us modernize! The present website has been online for a very long time and we want to bring it up to date. As of May 6, we are $2,380 away from our goal of $15,000 to fund the project. The fully redesigned site will be better for mobile, easier to read and navigate, and ready for the next decade. Please give today to join dozens of other supporters in making this important overhaul possible!

Ach Gott, das druckt das Herz mir ab

Language: German (Deutsch) 

Ach Gott, das druckt das Herz mir ab,
Daß ich mein Schatz valet geb'n hab,
Wo ich auch geh, wo ich auch steh,
Das druckt das Herz mir ab!
  Druck nit so, druck nit so,
  Kommt 'ne Zeit, bist wiedrum froh,
  Druck nit so, druck nit so,
  Kommt 'ne Zeit, bist froh!

Er kam zu Nacht vor meine Thür,
Da lag ein Schloß und Riegel für,
Er rief wohl ein, er rief wohl zwei,
Er rief dreimal nach mir.

"Geh du nur hin, geh du nur hin,
Bin ich nimmermehr nach deinem Sinn,
So nehm ich mir ein' andern Schatz!"
So ging mein Schatz dahin.

Und nimmt er sich ein' andern Schatz,
So spring ich gleich mit einem Satz
Wohl in den Bach, wohl in den Fluß,
Wohl in das tiefe Meer!

Ein' andern Schatz den nimmt er nicht,
Und in das Meer da spring ich nicht,
Ruft er zu Nacht nur Einmal noch,
So braucht er dreimal nicht.
  Druck nit so, druck nit so,
  Kommt 'ne Zeit, bist wiedrum froh,
  Druck nit so, druck nit so,
  Kommt 'ne Zeit, bist froh!
