Was los 'st denn, lieb's Derndál,
Was bist denn so still?
Was d'hämmerln und hámmerln hörst,
Dös is koan Mühl'. 

Was d'klippen und kláppen hörst,
Drescher sän's nit,   
Mein Herzerl is 's, glaub' má's,
Dös laßt má koan'n Fried'. 

Bei'm Tag gibt's koan' Ruh',
Bei dá Nacht weckt's mih auf;
Und gibts má koan Pflásterl nit, 
Geh'-n-ih noh drauf. 

Á Pflásterl so roth,
Und á Pflásterl so fein,
Und á Busserl, dös mirk' dá,
Muß aufg'strichá seyn.
