by Elisabeth Pauline Ottilie Luise zu Wied, Prinzessin (1843 - 1916), as Carmen Sylva

Lehm op! Lehm op!
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Lehm op!  Lehm op! 
Dröhnt der Boden und braust, 
Kommt's im Trab, Rhein hinab,
Über die Kuhl gesaust. 

Lehm op!  Lehm op!
Gu'n Morgen, Herr Husar! 
Reiterei tobt vorbei,
Rheinisch Gold fürwahr! 

Lehm op!  Lehm op! 
Ziegelbrennergesang! 
Lustig Lied!  Sporenlied!
Reiterschlachtenklang! 

Lehm op!  Lehm op!
Vollgestrichen Maß!
Zum Sattelknauf reicht hinauf
Voll ein schäumend Glas! 

Lehm op!  Lehm op!
Jauchzt der Schlachtruf laut!  
Jäger vom Rhein, wie Ziegelstein'!
Drauf, wo Herzblut thaut!

Lehm op!  Lehm op!
Schlagt zu Brei die Welt! 
Zäh der Stoß im Erdenkloß,
Stein und Bein zerschellt!
