by Friedrich Hermann Frey (1839 - 1911), as Martin Greif

Ich hab' zum Brunnen ein Krüglein...
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich hab' zum Brunnen ein Krüglein gebracht,
Es ging in Scherben,
Mein Schatz verließ mich über Nacht,
Und ich möcht' sterben.

Ich [geh']1 zum Brunnen gar nimmermehr -
[Soll]2 Einer werben!
Sein Schiff ist wohl schon weit im Meer,
Und ich möcht' sterben.
