Der Jäger aus Kurpfalz Alternative title: Ein Jäger aus Kurpfalz — Lyrics
Ein Jäger aus Kurpfalz,
Der reitet durch den grünen Wald,
Er schießt das Wild daher,
Gleich wie es ihm gefällt.
Trara, trara,
Gar Lustig ist die Jägerei,
Allhier aus grünen Heid,
Allhier aus grunen Heid.
Auf, sattelt mir mein Pferd
Und legt darauf den Mantelsack,
So reit ich hin und her
Als Jäger aus Kurpfalz.
