Was machst du mir
vor Liebchens Tür,
Kathrinchen, hier
bei frühem Tagesblicke?
Laß, laß es sein!
Er läßt dich ein,
als Mädchen ein,
als Mädchen nicht zurücke.
Nehmt euch in Acht!
Ist es vollbracht,
dann gute Nacht
ihr armen, armen Dinger!
Habt ihr euch lieb,
tut keinem Dieb
nur nichts zu Lieb',
als mit dem Ring am Finger.
