Black milk of daybreak we drink it at evening we drink it at
midday and morning we drink it at night we drink and we drink we shovel
a grave in the air there you won't lie too cramped A man lives in the
house he plays with his vipers he writes he writes when it grows dark to
Deutschland your golden hair Margareta he writes it and steps out of
doors and the stars are all sparkling he whistles his hounds to come
close he whistles his Jews into rows has them shovel a grave in the
ground he commands us to play up for the dance.
Black milk of
daybreak we drink you at night we drink you at morning and midday we
drink you at evening we drink and we drink A man lives in the house he
plays with his vipers he writes he writes when it grows dark to
Deutschland your golden hair Margareta Your ashen hair Shulamith we
shovel a grave in the air there you won't lie too cramped
He
shouts jab the earth deeper you lot there you others sing up and play he
grabs for the rod in his belt he swings it his eyes are so blue jab your
spades deeper you lot there you others play on for the
dancing
Black milk of daybreak we drink you at night we drink you
at midday and morning we drink you at evening we drink and we drink a
man lives in the house your goldenes Haar Margareta your aschenes Haar
Shulamith he plays his vipers
He shouts play death more sweetly
this Death is a master from Deutschland he shouts scrape your strings
darker you'll rise then as smoke to the sky you'll have a grave then in
the clouds there you won't lie too cramped Black milk of daybreak we
drink you at night we drink you at midday Death is a master aus
Deutschland we drink you at evening and morning we drink and we drink
this Death is ein Meister aus Deutschland his eye it is blue he shoots
you with shot made of lead shoots you level and true a man lives in the
house your goldenes Haar Margarete he looses his hounds on us grants us
a grave in the air he plays with his vipers and daydreams der Tod ist
ein Meister aus Deutschland
dein goldenes Haar Margarete dein
aschenes Haar Shulamith
