Ein Heller und ein Batzen - Heidi Heido
English lyrics:-
The Heller and the Batzen
They're gone, but both were mine, yes mine
The Heller went to water
The Batzen went to wine, yes wine
The Heller went to to water
The Batzen went to wine
Chorus: |: Heidi, heido, ha ha|
Heidi, heido, hei ha ha ha
The Landlords and the Ladies
They both exclaim "Oh no, oh no"
The Landlords when I'm coming
The Ladies when I go, yes go
The Landlords I'm coming
The Ladies when I go
Heidi, heido....
My cotton socks are ripped apart
My boots are torn in threes, yes threes
And sitting on the branches
The birds are singing free, yes free
And sitting on the branches
The birds are singing free
Heidi, heido....
If roads weren't wide and souls not bound
I'd sit and pine at home, yes home
And if the kegs weren't empty
My heart would never roam, yes roam
And if the kegs weren't empty
My heart would never roam
Heidi, heido....
What pleasure did it give to God
The moment I was born, so pink
With eyes as fair as diamonds
Too bad I fell to drink, yes drink
With eyes as fair as diamonds
Too bad I fell to drink
Heidi, heido....
