Sag', gold'ger Schatz, was fang' i an,
dass i koi Ruh' nich finde kan?
All Weg und Steg, auf Schritt und Tritt
nimmt's Herz an stets sei Unruh' mit.
Und wo i geh und wo i steh,
do moin i au, i müss' di seh'.
Glaub, hab' der z'tief in d'Äugle 'guckt,
als bu beim Tanz die Hand mir druckt.

Denn wie die dein' in meiner g'ruht,
und du mir g'sagt, du sei'st mer gut,
und wie so lieb dann drein geseh'
do han i glaubt, i müss' vergeh'.
Es ist mer heut' no wie im Traum,
mei Lieb, mei Glück, kann's fasse kaum.
Jetzt sag du selbst, mei gold'ger Schatz,
hat so viel Glück im Herze Platz?
