1. On the Swabian railway
there are lots of stops,
Schtuegert, Ulm and Biberach, Meckebeure, Durlesbach.
Rulla, rulla, rulllala, rulla, rulla, rulllala,
Schtuegert, Ulm and Biberach, Meckebeure, Durlesbach.
2. On the Swabian railway
there are many restaurants,
where you can eat, drink,
everything your stomach needs...
3. On the Swabian railway
we don't need postillions,
where the post horn used to blow for us,
now the locomotive whistles...
4. On the Swabian railway
a little farmer wants to travel,
goes to the ticket counter and lifts his hat:
"Oi ticket, be so kind!"...
5. He has bought himself a goat
and so that it doesn't run away,
the good woman ties it to the back of the scales...
6. "Little goat, just keep jumping,
I'll bring you the food." Sits down next to his wife
and lights a tobacco pipe...
7. At the next station,
where he wants to get his goat,
he only finds the head and the floor
on the back of the car...
8. Then he gets very angry,
takes the head along with the horn,
throws whatever he can throw,
at the conductor's skull...
9. "So, you can pay for the damage,
why did you drive so fast!
You alone are to blame
that I lost the goat!"
10. So, now the song has been sung,
has it sounded in your ears?
If you still can't understand it,
start again from the beginning...
