There were three fellow craftsmen (1)
They did as they pleased
One was drunk
The second was filled up
The third spoke: dear brethren
I don't feel too well, either
The third spoke: dear brethren
I don't feel too well, either
Dear fellows, why should
It stay concealed
We shall let the master's
Work leave behind
We shall go a little
For a stroll
To where there's cool fresh wine
Where the pretty girls are
To where there's cool fresh wine
Where the pretty girls are
And when at the tavern
They arrived
The hostess she had made them
A polite reception
Welcome, welcome,
My journeymen.
What would you like to eat ?
Which wine would you prefer ?
What would you like to eat ?
Which wine would you prefer ?

If we have no hungarian wine
We'll drink the french wine
And if we have no french wine
We'll drink the hungarian winde
For the hungarian wine
Is a good wine indeed
We shall now drink it
And have a good time
We shall now drink it
And have a good time
And as they had eaten
And had drunk
The innkeeper sent (1b)
A saucy little boy
Dear fellows, dear fellows
It's time to go home
Please take leave
And go, in god's name
Please take leave
And go, in god's name
The fellows, they came
Singing and dancing (2)
The innkeeper was angry
The hostess was growling
You seem to be
A strange bunch of fellows
Carousing and drinking
But not when it comes to working
Carousing and drinking
But not when it comes to working
They took up their bundle (3)
Well unto their backs
And journeyed across
The franconian Bridge
Then came the innkeeper's little daughter
Fellows, ye should stay
For I can't be without you
Fellows, ye should stay
For I can't be without you
