from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Biwack
 (Sung text for setting by R. Mengelberg)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Habt ihr kein' Dragoner geseh'n?,
Auf der grünen Wiese,
Hinterm gelben Veilchenstock,
Bei der Jungfer Liese?

Jungfer Liese! Was ist das?
Auf der Wiese wächst das Gras,
Auf den Äckern blüht der Klee,
Mädel, trau kei'm Buben meh!

Hab' einmal einem Buben traut,
Hat mich sieben Jahr geraut;
Sieben Jahr ist noch nicht lang,
Reut mich auch mein Leben lang.
