Die Schwälble ziehet fort, ziehet fort
Language: German (Deutsch)
Die Schwälble ziehet fort, ziehet fort, Weit an en andre Ort; Und i sitz' do in Traurigkeit, Es isch a böse, schwere Zeit. Könnt' i no fort durch d' Welt, fort durch d' Welt, Weil mir's hie gar net, gar net g'fällt! O Schwälble, komm, i bitt', i bitt'! Zeig mir de Weg und nimm mi mit!
