one little bit's gonna tell you all what for
My sweetheart was a very patriotic girl
and she drives me off mid the war
I fight for her, the battle of the flag,
But a long time ago she nixes me
and runs off mid another man
what makes you so unkind?
You've lent me hands to Germany
and left poor shots behind
and my feet all stuck in the mud
and I caught you by the tail,
I dreamed I slept with a ghost
Next day I was frozen in the mud
just like a barnyard ghost
what makes you so unkind?
You've bent me hands to Germany
and left poor schnapps behind
They gives me hard -back bread to eat,
but likes to broke my jaw
Sometimes I spit him with an iron wedge,
The beef he was so salty,
Lord's wife killed him I know
And the General says they
what makes you so unkind?
You bid me ranz to Germany
and left for schnapps behind
At last he takes a southern town
and holds him for one year
They put red pepper in the sauerkraut
and the vinegar in the beer
I meets a lady on the street,
as pretty as one could be
I tries to kiss her apple lips,
what makes you so unkind?
You vent mid -hands to Germany,
and left poor schnapps behind
