Das beherzte Schatzerl
 (Sung text for setting by H. Pfeil)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
A Liedel, a g'spaßig's,  
Hat mei Bua auf mi g'macht,    
Dös hat er mi zua g'steckt,   
Beim Fensterl'n auf d'Nacht. 
Du allein bist mei Freud',    
Bist mei Leben, mei Gott,   
Und wann's mi nit load thät,    
I busserlt di z'Tod.

Drauf sagt sie:   Mei Schatzerl,
Ach, mir ist grad wie Dir,
Und wann i a sterb'n müßt, 
I könnt' nix dafür.
Und das glaub' mir, das Busserln,
Das is ja kein Sünd';
Du därfst di nit fürchten,
I stärb' nit so g'schwind!
