3. Die Bachstelze  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Die kleine flinke Müllerin,
Zum Bache ging sie morgens hin,
    Zum Bache.
Da lief ein schlankes Vögelein
So flink wie sie, so nett und fein,
    Am Bache.
 
"Du kleines Vöglein, sage mir:
War heute schon mein Liebster [hier?]1
    Am Bache?"
"Dein Liebster ging schon früh vorbei,
Des Nachbars Grete war [dabei,]2
    Am Bache."
 
Die kleine flinke Müllerin,
Wie schlich sie zu der Mühle hin
    [Vom]3 Bache!
Vergissmeinnicht und Männertreu!
Die Lieb', die Lieb' ist immer neu
    Am Bache!
