Ein Heller und ein Batzen - Heidi Heido

English lyrics:- The Heller and the Batzen They’re gone, but both were mine, yes mine The Heller went to water The Batzen went to wine, yes wine The Heller went to to water The Batzen went to wine Chorus: |: Heidi, heido, ha ha| Heidi, heido, hei ha ha ha The Landlords and the Ladies They both exclaim “Oh no, oh no“ The Landlords when I’m coming The Ladies when I go, yes go The Landlords I’m coming The Ladies when I go Heidi, heido.... My cotton socks are ripped apart My boots are torn in threes, yes threes And sitting on the branches The birds are singing free, yes free And sitting on the branches The birds are singing free Heidi, heido.... If roads weren’t wide and souls not bound I’d sit and pine at home, yes home And if the kegs weren’t empty My heart would never roam, yes roam And if the kegs weren’t empty My heart would never roam Heidi, heido.... What pleasure did it give to God The moment I was born, so pink With eyes as fair as diamonds Too bad I fell to drink, yes drink With eyes as fair as diamonds Too bad I fell to drink Heidi, heido....
