by Karl Bulcke (1875 - 1936)

Einsiedel
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Da droben am Berge, ei, seht doch 'mal an! 
unserm braven Einsiedel hat's der Mai angetan!
Da droben am Berge, wo die Nachtigall singt,
da tanzt der Einsiedel, daß der Kuttenrock springt!

Und nieder zum Dorfe, ei, seht, wie er lauft!
Da hat der Einsiedel sein' Kutte verkauft.
Ei, laßt ihn nur lachen, was nützt ihm sein Kleid?
Das Beten und Wachen hat alles sein' Zeit!

Will Fahrender werden, will Spielmann sein,
und grün ist die Erden und rot ist der Wein!
Da steht der Einsiedel in Sonne und Glanz!
Jetzt hebt er die Fiedel, auf, Mädel, zum Tanz!
