Sie sprechen wieder von großen Zeiten. (Marie, weine nicht) Der Krämer wird uns schon ankreiden. Sie sprechen wieder von Ehre. (Marie, weine nicht) Da ist nichts mehr im Schrank, was zu holen wäre. Sie sprechen wieder von Siegen. (Marie, weine nicht) Sie werden mich schon nicht kriegen. Es ziehn die Heere, es ziehn die Heere, (Marie, weine nicht) Wenn ich wiederkehre, kehr ich unter andern Fahnen wieder. Also weine nicht!
