Der Reiter und das Mägdelein
Language: German (Deutsch) 
"Ei, soll ich zu euch sitzen,
so hab ich doch kein Gras,
ich hab ein zornig's Mütterlein
sie schlägt mich alle Tag."

"Hast du ein zornig's Mütterlein,
so bind' dein Fingerlein zu.
Und sprich, dich habe gestochen
Wohl eine Sommerblum."

"Ei, soll ich denn nun lügen?
Es steht mir übel an,
viel lieber wollt' ich sprechen,
der Reiter wär mein Mann."
