from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Wann i in der Früh aufsteh
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wann i in der Früh aufsteh,
Ai, ei, ei, a,
Und zu meiner Schwaigrin geh,
Ai, ei, ei, a,
Und da nim i glei mei Sichel
Und da gras' i mit mein Michel,
Und da gras' ma in den Klee
Ei, ai, ei, a.

Schwaigrin, du bist mein Freud,
Ai, ei, ei, a,
Wann i's Vieh auf d'Alma treib,
Ai, ei, ei, a,
Und aft'n tun ma's Kuhla malcha,
Und da krieg'n ma gute Kalma,
Treib'n mirs abi zu den Stier
Ei, ai, ei, a.

Wann der Holda blast ins Horn,
Ai, ei, ei, a,
Treib'n ma's Kuhla von den Barn
Ai, ei, ei, a,
Tun ma's Kuhla von den Barn,
Ai, ei, ei, a,
Tun ma's Kuhla abi streicha,
Und die Milli zamma seicha,
Aft'n treib'n mir's hin zum Bach, 
Ei, ai, ei, a.

Schwaigrin, bring den Sechta her,
Ai, ei, ei, a,
's Kuhla gibt uns Milli mehr,
Ai, ei, ei, a,
Kann ma's Kuhla nimmer malcha,
Aft'n krieg'n ma gute Kalma,
's Kuhla gibt uns Milli mehr,
Ei, ai, ei, a.
