Ein Schifflein Sah Ich Fahren
German Choir
A Little Ship I Saw Sailing
A little ship I saw sailing
Captain and lieutenant!
Loaded inside
Three brave companies of soldiers
Captain, lieutenant, ensign, sergeant
Take the girl
Take the girl by the hand!
Soldiers, comrades!
Take the girl
Take the girl by the hand!
What should the soldiers eat
Captain and lieutenant?
Roasted fish with watercress
That's what the soldiers should eat!
Captain, lieutenant
What should the soldiers drink
Captain and lieutenant?
The best wine to be found
That's what the soldiers should drink!
Captain, lieutenant
Where should the soldiers sleep
Captain and lieutenant?
By their rifles and weapons
There the soldiers must sleep!
Captain, lieutenant
Where should the soldiers dance
Captain and lieutenant?
In front of Harburg on the ramparts
There the soldiers must dance!
Captain, lieutenant
How do the soldiers get to heaven
Captain and lieutenant?
On a white steed
The soldiers ride to heaven
Captain, lieutenant
How do officers get to hell
Captain and lieutenant?
On a black colt
The devil will come for them
Captain, lieutenant
