by Klaus Groth (1819 - 1899)

Komm, sei nicht so mürrisch
Language: German (Deutsch) 
"Komm, sei nicht so mürrisch,
Und leere dein Glas,
Und wenn du kein Geld hast,
So wechsle dir was! 

Und fehlt dir ein Liebchen,
So wünsche dir eins!
Wie mancher hat g'heirat,
Und hatt nimmer keins! 

Der Gastwirt hat allweil 
Die Kreide zur Hand,
Und malt dir den Teufel 
Umsonst an die Wand."
