Der Bundesbahnblues Lyrics

Now I´m going to sing for you that old Bundesbahnblues:

Oh I was travelling through this country
travelling with the Bundesbahn.
Ah geh wusch a geh wui
I said, I was travelling through this country
with the doggone Bundesbahn.
I said ah geh wusch a geh wui!
Taking along my baby - suddenly she was gone.
Total verschwunden

And now I´m looking for my baby
is´nt it a doggone shame.
Himmel fix no amal!
I said: I´m looking for my baby
is´nt it a doggone shame.
I said: Himmel fix no amal 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 Schruns,
in Wulkaprodersdorf, in Attnang-Puchheim?
Is she in Mistelbach, in Stinkenbrunn,
in Zwettl or in lovely Wieselburg?
All I know, she´s gone somwhere im g´scherten Jodelland
my poor baby
Is she in Hadersdorf, in Weidlingau,
in Kaisermühlen, in Gänserndorf, Amstetten?
Is she in Breitenfurt, in Klagenfurt,
in Wörgl or in Fuschl or in Graz?
Tell me, where´s my baby or I am certainly going nuts,
sunst wer i narrisch!

Is she in Oberlaa, is she in Unterlaa,
is she in Erlaa or is she in Laa an der Thaya?
Dann schrei i Feuer!
Is she in Bruck an der Mur, an der Ybbs, an der Donau
or is she in Bruck an der Leitha and so weiter?
This is no Genuß, I sing the Bundesbahnblues
for my baby
I ask the Bahnhofsvorstand, I ask the Kassier,
I ask the man who sells the heisse Würstel
I ask the Fahrdienstleiter, the man with the beer,
I even ask the Putzfrau with the Bürstel
Nobody could tell me where my baby might be -
not even Mr. Waldbrunner!

Since then I´m travelling through this country
using still the Bundesbahn,
from Bludenz to Marchegg
Looking for my baby
from Braunau to St. Veit an der Glan,
but my baby is weg! Wearing out my shoes
Singing the Bundesbahnblues!
