Es wollt ein Bauer früh aufstehn

A Farmer Wanted to Get Up Early

A farmer wanted to get up early.
A farmer wanted to get up early,
Wanted to go out to his field.
Fateritirallala fateritira

And when the farmer came home
He wanted something to eat

Oh Lieschen, cook me millet porridge
With fried potatoes and fried eggs

And when the farmer sat down to eat
There was a noise in the pantry

Oh dear wife, what is that
There's a rumbling in the pantry

Oh dear husband, that's the wind
Rustling in the kitchen cupboard

The farmer said he wanted to see for himself
Wanted to go into the pantry himself

And when the farmer entered the pantry
The priest put on his pants

Hey priest, what are you doing in my house
I'll throw you out immediately

The priest said, what I'm doing
Your wife can't confess yet

So the farmer took a log from the stove
And hit the priest so he screamed

The priest cried oh horror oh fright
And stuck his butt out the window

People from near and far came
And thought it was the morning star

It wasn't the morning star
It was the priest's butt face

This is how it should go for all priests
Who go to strange women at night

And the moral of the story
Don't trust the priest's butt face
