Schwäbisches Volkslied

Language: German (Deutsch)

Mei Mueter mag mi net,
Und kein Schatz hann' i net,
Ei warum schtärb i net,
Was thur' i do?

Geschtern ischt Kirchweih g'wä,
Mi hot mer g'wis net g'seh,
Denn mir ischt gar so weh,
I tanz jo net.

Laßt die drei Rösla steh',
Die an dem Kreuzle blüh'
Hent ihr des Mädle kennt,
Des drunta leit?
