Lyrics
Der Leiermann
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Drueben hinterm Dorfe steht ein Leiermann
und mit starren Fingern dreht er, was er kann.
Barfuss auf dem eise wankt er hin und her
und sein kleiner Teller bleibt ihm immer leer.
Keiner mag ihn hoeren, keiner sieht ihn an,
und die Hunde knurren um den alten Mann.
Und er laesst es gehen alles, wie es will,
dreht, und seine Leier steht ihm nimmer still.
Wunderlicher alter, soll ich mit dir geh'n?
Willst zu meinen Liedern deine Leier dreh'n?
