Am Ort, wo meine Wiege stand
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Am Ort, wo meine Wiege stand,
Hab' ich ein Heiligtum,
Das geb ich nicht für Edelstein,
Für Geld und eitlen Ruhm.
Da bin ich aller Sorgen frei,
Da ruht es sich so süß.
O liebes treues Mutterherz,
Du bist mein Paradies.

Am Ort, wo meine Wiege stand,
Erblüht mein erster Blick,
Drum zieht es mich zu jeder Stund'
Nach diesem Ort zurück.
Ob ich auch heute nicht bei dir,
Ob ich dich auch verließ.
O liebes treues Mutterherz,
Du bist mein Paradies.

Am Ort, wo meine Wiege stand,
Möcht ich begraben sein,
Ihm möcht ich noch den letzten Blick,
Die letzte Träne weih'n,
Dann ruh' ich dort, wo einst ein Herz
Voll Wehmut mich entließ
O liebes treues Mutterherz,
Du bist mein Paradies.
