from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Habt ihr kein' Dragoner g'sehn
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Habt ihr kein' Dragoner [g'sehn]1,
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 [wächst]2 der Klee,
Mädel, trau [keim]3 Buben meh!

Hab' einmal ['nem]4 Buben traut,
Hat mich sieben Jahr geraut;
Sieben Jahr ist noch [nit]5 lang,
Reut mich auch mein Leben lang.
