Auf lang' muß i' scheiden
Language: German (Deutsch)
Auf lang' muß i' scheiden In d'Fremd muß i' gehn, Und muß mi' verkleiden, Mein Dienderl zu seh'n. Zu Dir hab' i müss'n, Sonst war's mer zu weh, I' muß' Di' noch grüeß'n Mein Dienderl Ade -- Kann nit mit Dir sprecha, Fremd is Dir mein Kleid, Das Herz will mer brecha Vor Lieb und vor Leid. Das Kleid is a neues, Mein Herz aber nit, Das is gar a treues, Das bring' i' denn mit.
