When Adam farmed and Eve spun flax, Kyrieleis Well tell me, where was the nobleman ? Kyrieleis The offspring of the nobleman, Heia Ho We will send straight to hell !, Heia Ho The daughter of the nobleman, Heia Ho Shall be our harlot for today, Heia Ho (3) Tell every castle, abbey and chapter, Heia Ho We keep no vows, only holy writ, Heia Ho Both Kaiser and Reich hear not our cause, Heia Ho We shall be our own court of law, Heia Ho The same lawbook for every man, Heia Ho From the Prince down to the farmer-man, Heia Ho We will no longer be your pawns, Heia Ho In serfdom, drudgery, without rights, Heia Ho At Weinsberg there is arson and bad blood, Heia Ho (4) And some were put right to the sword, Heia Ho They beat us flat with clubs, Heia Ho And made us sick with famine, Heia Ho Bruised and beaten we stagger back home, Heia Ho Our grandchildren will put up a better fight, Heia Ho https://lyricstranslate.com
