Herzliebschter Schatz
Language: Swabian (Schwäbisch) 
Herzliebschter Schatz  
Was fang i a' 
Daß i koi' Ruh 
Meh' finde ka'? 

Bald schuckert's me, 
Bald wurd's mer schwül, 
Und 's Herz goht mir 
Als wien a Mühl. 

Und won i geh 
Und won i steh, 
Do moin i halt 
I müeß die seh'. 

Schätz, han dir z' dief
In d'Äugle guckt 
Wo du beim Danz 
Mir d'Hand hoscht druckt. 

Denn als die dei'
In meiner gruht, 
Und du mir gsagt, 
De sei'scht mer gut  --  

Und wie d' so lieb 
In's Herz mir gseh', 
Do han i glaubt 
I müeß vergeh'. 

Ja 's ischt mer heut no' 
Wien a Traum  --  
Mei' Lieb, mei' Glück, 
Ka's fasse kaum. 

Jetzt sag, jetzt sag, 
Herzliebschter Schatz, 
Hot so viel Glück 
Im Herz Platz?
