| With envious thirst | G |
| When he can live by wining | C |
| A roseate hue seems to imbue | H |
| The world on which I'm blinking | C |
| My fellow men I love them when | I |
| I'm drinking drinking drinking | C |
| - | |
| And yet I think the more I drink | J |
| It's more and more I pine for | K |
| Oh such as I forever dry | L |
| God made this land of Rhine for | K |
| And there is bliss | M |
| In knowing this | M |
| As to the floor I'm sinking | C |
| I've wronged no man | N |
| And never can | N |
| While drinking drinking drinking | C |
