Es jagt ein Jeger vor dem holtz
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Es jagt ein Jeger vor dem holtz
ein schöne braune Hinten,
Ey Jeger, liebster Jeger mein,
du kanst noch höflich springen,
der Jeger spürt wol nach dem wildt,
er thet sein hörnlein blasen.
Er fand ein Hinten, die was stolz
mit der da kundt er kosen,
Hastus wildt? ey nein du, ey ja ich,
das wildt hab ich geschoffen
und habs auch redlich troffen.
Hastus wildt? ey nein du, ey ja ich.
Der Jegermeister ist zornig,
es zürnet sehr, er schilt, er schilt,
es zürnet nit, es gilt, es gilt,
wol umb die braune Hinten,
er mag sie nit uberwinden.
