Lied
Language: German (Deutsch) after the English
Auf dein Wohl trink ich, Mary,
Mary, du Süße, du Meine!
Leise schließ ich die Thüre,
Trink ohne Gäste, alleine
Deine Gesundheit, Mary!
Giebt es auch schönre, als Mary,
Schönere Maid als die meine,
Diese holdselige Peri:
Ist so lieblich doch keine,
Keine so schelmisch wie Mary!
Mögest Du glücklich sein, Mary,
Sonne des Lebens, du Meine!
Möge dir Kummer und Sorge,
Noth und alles Gemeine
Ewig fern bleiben, Mary!
