Altdeutsches Volkslied
 (Sung text for setting by H. Zumpe)
 Matches base text
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Wo find' ich deines Vaters Haus,
säuberliches Mägdelein?
„Geh das Gässlein aus und ein,
so find'st du meines Vaters Haus.
Schweig still und lass dein Fragen sein!“

So bellet dann das Hündlein dein,
säuberliches Mägdelein?
„Ruf den Wächter leise ein,
so lässt der Hund das Bellen sein!
Schweig still und lass dein Fragen sein!“

Wo find' ich dann dein Kämmerlein,
säuberliches Mägdelein?
„Bei der Küchen an der Wand,
da halt' dich nur zur rechten Hand.
Schweig still und lass dein Fragen sein!“
