Es taget vor dem Walde
Language: Mittelhochdeutsch 
Es taget vor dem Walde,
Stand ûf, Kätterlîn!
Die hasen laufen balde,
Stand ûf, Kätterlîn, holder Buehl!
Heiahô, du bist mîn, sô bin ich dîn,
Stand ûf, Kätterlîn!
 
Es taget in der Aue,
Stand ûf, Kätterlîn!
Schöns Lieb, lass' dich anschauen,
Stand ûf, Kätterlîn, holder Buehl!
Heiahô, du bist mîn, sô bin ich dîn,
Stand ûf, Kätterlîn!
 
Es taget vor dem Holze,
Stand ûf, Kätterlîn!
Die Jäger hürnen Stolze,
Stand ûf, Kätterlîn, holder Buehl!
Heiahô, du bist mîn, sô bin ich dîn,
Stand ûf, Kätterlîn!
