Auf den Sonntag früh Morgen,
Da kam die hübsche Merlind
Und wollte zum Thore hinaus.
Da fragten sie alle die Leute:
Merlind, wo will sie hin?
Ich will nach mein’ Vater sein Garten
Und pflücken ein rothes Bukett.
Und als sie in den Baumgarten einkam,
Wohl unter dem Rosenbusch,
Da lag ein hübsch und fein Reuter
Wohl unter dem Rosenzweig.
Steh auf! Es ist schon die Zeit!
Ich höre die Schlüßlein schon klingen,
Meine Mutter ist nicht weit.
Hörst du die Schlüßlein schon klingen,
Ei so dreh dich noch einmal herum
Und reich mir deinen rosenrothen Mund!
