Gather, Friends, at the Evening Gathering

Lyrics:

Gather, friends, at the evening gathering,

to curse the swineherd’s mother.

Why did mother give birth to the swineherd /2

All swineherds went away and came back /2

But my soldier went away and didn’t return /2

Black forest, tell him to come /2

Young maiden, I don’t recognize him /2

Black forest, it darkens me with sorrow,

black forest, it darkens him with sorrow.

Black forest, white is his cap,

black forest, boots up to his knees.
