Wenn du zu meim Schätzel kommst
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Wenn du zu meim Schätzel kommst,
Sag:  ich ließ sie grüßen;
Wenn sie fraget, wie mirs geht?
Sag: auf beiden Füßen.
Wenn sie fraget: ob ich krank?
Sag: ich sei gestorben;
Wenn sie an zu weinen fangt,
Sag: ich käme morgen!
