So hab' ich doch die ganze Woche Mein feines Liebchen nicht geseh'n, Ich sah es an einem Sonntag Wohl vor der Türe steh'n: Das tausendschöne Jungfräulein, Das tausendschöne Herzelein, Wollte Gott, wollte Gott, ich wär' heute bei ihr! So will mir doch die ganze Woche Das Lachen nicht vergeh'n, Ich sah es an einem Sonntag Wohl in die Kirche geh'n: Das tausendschöne Jungfräulein, Das tausendschöne Herzelein, Wollte Gott, wollte Gott, ich wär' heute bei ihr!
