from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Unterländers Heimweh
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Drunten im Unterland, da ist's halt fein.
Schlehen im Oberland, Trauben im Unterland;
drunten im Unterland möcht' i wohl sein.

Drunten im Neckartal, da ist's halt gut.
Ist mer's da oben rum manchmal au no so dumm,
han i doch alleweil drunten gut's Blut.

Kalt ist's im Oberland, drunten ist's warm;
oben sind d'Leut so reich, d'Herzen sind gar net weich,
b'sehnt mi net freundlich an, werdet net warm.

Aber da unten rum, da sind d'Leut arm,
aber so froh und frei, und in der Liebe treu; -
drum sind im Unterland d'Herzen so warm.
