by Meinrad Lienert (1865 - 1933)

Dr Handörgeler
Language: Swiss German (Schwizerdütsch) 
Bi blöiss ä arme Musikant.
D'Handorgele i myner Hand
Ist alles was i ha.
I spile druf dur's Heimedland,
Se vil i mag und cha.

I spile jeder uf zuem Tanz,
Wo z'Hochsig goht im Jumpf'rechranz
Und goht's bis z'Nacht am Zwei,
Sygs' dusse b'soge oder Glanz,
I spile're bis hei.

Jo, Roseli, dir spili au!
I spil dr bis dr Tag wird grau,
Häst Hochsig mit dym Gsell.
I spil dr hei dur Ryff und Tau
I Himmel, mir i d'Hell.
