Des Geyers schwarzer Haufen
Die Streuner
The Black Gang of the Geyer
We are the black gang of the Geyer - Heyah Heyoh
We want to brawl with priests and nobles - Heyah Heyoh
Spears up front - hey! Fight and charge
Put the red rooster on the monastery roof
Now it’s about the castle, abbey, and convent - Hey...
Nothing matters to us but the holy scripture - Hey...
Chorus
When Adam dug and Eve spun - Hey...
Where was the nobleman then - Hey...
Chorus
We want to complain to God in heaven - Hey...
That we can’t just kill the priests - Hey...
Chorus
We don’t want to be serfs any longer - Hey...
Bonded, servile, without rights - Hey...
Chorus
Beaten, we go home - Hey...
The grandkids will fight it out better - Hey...
Chorus
Trad., 16th century.
