| Darling, go home, your husband is ill.
|
| Is he ill? |
| Let them give him a pill.
|
| Oh, come my dear Franz, just one more dance,
|
| Then I’ll go home to my poor old man,
|
| Then I’ll go home to my poor old man.
|
| Darling, go home, your husband is worse.
|
| Is he worse? |
| Well I am no nurse.
|
| Oh, come my dear Franz, just one more dance,
|
| Then I’ll go home to my poor old man,
|
| Then I’ll go home to my poor old man.
|
| Darling, go home, your husband is dead.
|
| Is he dead? |
| There’s no more to be said
|
| Oh, come my dear Franz, just one more dance,
|
| Then I’ll go home to my poor old man,
|
| Then I’ll go home to my poor old man.
|
| Darling, go home, the will’s to be read
|
| What’s that you said? |
| I said the will’s to be read.
|
| Oh, no, no, my dear Franz, this is no time to dance,
|
| I must go weep for my poor old man,
|
| I must go weep for my poor old man. |
