De Picknock oud at Spraker's WoodA
It melt de soul und fire de ploodA
Id sofly slid from cakes und creamB
Boot busted oop on brandy shdeamB
-
Mit stims of tender graceful ringC
De gals begoon a song to singC
A bland mildt lied of olden dimeB
Deutsch vas die doon und Deutsch de rhymeB
-
Wi's uff der Stross' wenn's finschter ischtA
Und niemond in der Goss' mehr ischtA
Nur Sch ne M del wolle mer fongaC
Wie es gebil'te Leut' verlongaC
-
At de picknock oud in Spraker's WoodA
De Bier was soft de gals were goodA
Oondil von feller vild and raschD
Called out for a Yankee brandy smashD
-
A crow vot vas valkin on de vallE
Fell dead ven he hear dis Dootchmann callE
For he knew dat droples coom py shinksF
Ven de Dootch go in for Yankee drinksF
-
De Dootch got ravin droonk ash sinG
Dey smash de windows out und inG
Dey bust und bang de bar room einH
Und call for a bucket of brannteweinH
-
Avay avay demselfs dey floongC
Und a wild infernal lied dey sungC
'Tvas Tam de wein and cuss de bierI
Ve tont care nix for de demprance hereI
-
O keep a pringin juleps inH
Und baldface corn dat burn like sinH
Mit apple tods und oldt shtone fenceF
Ve'll all get corned ere ve go henceF
-
Dey dash deir glasses on de croundA
Und tanz dill 'tvas all to brick duss groundA
Ven dey hear von man had a ten dollar noteA
De crowd go dead for dat rich man's troatA
-
A demperance chap vot coomed dere inH
Vent squanderin out mit his shell burst inH
It's walk your chalks you loost your chanceF
Dis vot de call der Dootchmans' danceF
-
Boot ven de law mit his myrmidonH
Vas hear of dese Dootchmen's carryins onH
Dey sent bolicemen shtern und goodA
To pull dose Dootch in Spraker's WoodA
-
De Dootch vas all gone roarin madA
Und trinked mit Spraker all dey hadA
Dey shpend 'nuf money to last deir lifeJ
And each vas tantzin mit anoder man's wifeJ
-
Dey all cot poonish difers vaysF
Some vent to jug for dirty taysF
Und de von dat kilt de demperance manH
Vas kit from de Alderman reprimanH
-
Und dus it ran A warnin dakeC
For you mighdt hafe mate soom pig mishdakeC
Now how vouldt you hafe feeled py shingC
If dat man hat peen in de whiskey ringC
-
Since you votes mine dicket of course you knowH
I'm pound to led you shlide und goH
Boot nefer on whiskey trink your fillE
For you Dootchmen don't know who to killE
-
Now Deutschers all on dis warning dinkC
Und don't get troonk on Yankee trinkC
For neider you or anoder manH
Can pe hocks like de New York rowdies canH
-
So trink goot bier mit musik plestA
For if you tried your level bestA
You can't be plackguarts taint in de ploodA
Dus endet de shdory of Spraker's WoodA
