Der Bundesbahn-Blues

Now I' going to sing for you that old Bundesbahnblues!

Oh I was travelling through this country
Travelling with the Bundesbahn
Ah geh wusch ah geh wui!
I said I was travelling through this country
Travelling with the Bundesbahn
I said ah geh wusch ah geh wui!

Taking along my Baby
Suddenly she was gone
Total verschwunden

And now I'm looking for my Baby
Isn't it a goddam shame
Himmel fix no amoi!
I said I'm looking for my Baby
Isn't it a dark and shame
I said Himmel fix no amoi, and i mean it!

There is just the Fahrplan
Of the Bundesbahn to blame
Zu blöd!

Is she in Scheibbs, in Lunz
In Ybbs, in Schrunz
In Wolkaprudersdorf or Attnang-Puchheim
Is she in Mistelbach, in Stinkenbrunn
In Zwettl or in lovely Wieselburg

All I know, she's gone
Somewhere im gscherten me Jogelland
My poor baby!

Is she in Harkersdorf, in Weidling-Au
In Kaisermühln und Gänserndorf, Amstetten
Is she in Breitenfurt, in Klagenfurt
In Gurgl or in Fuschl or in Graz

Tell me where's my baby
Or I'm certainly going nuts!
Sonst wer i narrisch!

Is she in Oberlaa
Is she in Unterlaa
Is she in Erlaa
Or is she in Laa an der Thaya
Donn schrei i Feia!
Is she in Bruck an der Mur
Oder Ybbs an der Donau
Or is she in Bruck an der Leitha
And so weiter

This is no Genuss
I sing the Bundesbahn-Blues
For my Baby

I askeds the Bahnhofsvorstand, I asked the Kassier
I asked the man who sells the heisse Würstel
I asked the Fahrdienstleiter, the man with the beer
I even asked the Putzfrau with the Bürstel

Nobody could tell me
Where my Baby might be
Not even Mister Weilbrunner

Since then I'm travelling through this country
Using still the Bundesbahn
From Bludenz to Marchegg
Looking for my Baby
From Braunau to Sankt Veit an der Glan
But my Baby is weg

I'm wearing out my shoes
Singing the Bundesbahnblues
Singing the Bundesbahnblues!
