I' woiß wo a Rösle 
So schöa und so fei', 
As wird net a zwoit's so 
Im Schwobeland sei'! 

I' woiß wo a Nescht 
Und a Vögele drin, 
Dees Vögele will m'r 
Halt net aus mei'm Sinn. 

I' woiß a Paar Schternle 
So hell und so klar, 
Am schönschte Nachthi'mel 
Ischt net so a Paar!  

Dees ällerliabscht Rösle, 
Dees Rösle bischt Du 
Und hättescht an' Dorne, 
I' nähm' De' im Nu!   

Und dei' ischt's sell Nescht
Und as Vögele d'Liab', 
Und i', ei, i' wär' gern 
Der Vögelesdiab. 

Und's selbig Paar Schternle?  --  
Komm, Schatz, sieh me' a, 
Daß i' in mei'n Hi'mel
Recht nei' gucke ka!
