Ein alter mann thet bulen gahn/
 zu einer stoltzen jungen maid/
er reicht ir dar/
vil gulden klar/
von ir hat er ein kurtzen bscheid/
du bist ein alter kalter greiß/
dein haubt ist kahl/
das haar ist weiß/
auffs hew magstu nit steigen/
ich weiß ein stoltzen jungen mann/
der mich zu nachts erfrewen kan/
und spielt mir auff der geigen.

An old man went courting/
a proud young maiden/
he showd her /
much bright gold/
but got a short answer/
you are an old cold coot/
your head is bald
your hair is white /
You may not get it to rise /
I know a proud young man /
who can entertain me all night
and play me on the fiddle.
