Die Mischung aus Wasser und Hopfen und Malz Is scho a Erfrischung - Gott erhalt's ! Aber derwischt ma zu vü davo Dann steht ma dauernd am Klo Lord have mercy on me I seem to drink more than I can pee WC-shells and tiles is all I can see That is my peeing drunkard's plea Nach zwa drei Krügerl, höchstens vier Steh i 's erste Mal vor der Häusl-Tür Und i denk mir, i geh gar net z'ruck Ab jetzt kumm i eh wieder nach jeden Schluck Lord have mercy on me... Wann dann mei Schatzerl schimpft mit mir Sag i mei Spatzerl, Schuld is nur des Bier Nur weil i solang durt am Heisl huck Komm i erst so spät ausn Beisl z'ruck Lord have mercy on me... Irgendwie kummt mir so fia Was der Welt wirklich fehlt is a Trocken-Bier I grübel und grübel - i glaub, i hab's I steig afoch um auf Schnaps Lord have mercy on me... |
Lord have mercy on me Was the kneeling drunkard's plea And as he knelt there on the ground I know that God in Heaven looked down I went down by an old country church I saw the drunkard stagger and lurch And as he reached his mother's grave I saw that drunkard kneel and pray Lord have mercy on me... Bring my darling boy to me Was his mothers dying plea And as he staggered through the gate Alas, he came just one day too late Three years have passed since she went away Her son is sleeping beside her today And I know that in heaven his mother will see For God has heard that drunkard's plea Lord have mercy on me... |
