Volkslied
 (Sung text for setting by K. Reinecke)
 Matches base text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
O schönster Schatz auf Erden,
dich liebe ich doch ganz allein;
ich hoff', mein sollst du werden,
mein Eigen sollst du sein!

Tust du mir heimlich winken,
so ist mein Herz erfreut;
gibts du mir Wein zu trinken,
so tu ich dir Bescheid.

Trau' nicht der falschen Zunge,
die mich so sehr veracht't;
wer mir mein'n Schatz missgunnet,
dem sage ich gut' Nacht.

Ich will nicht aus der Stadt,
ich geh nicht aus dem Städtchen 'naus,
bis ich mein'n Herzallerliebsten
in meinen Armen halt'.
