O Du lieber Augustin - Kinderlieder zum Mitsingen | Sing Kinderlieder：

German lyrics:

O, du lieber Augustin, Augustin, Augustin,
 O, du lieber Augustin, alles ist hin.

 Geld ist weg, Mäd'l ist weg,
 Alles hin, Augustin.
 O, du lieber Augustin,
 Alles ist hin.

 Rock ist weg, Stock ist weg,
 Augustin liegt im Dreck,
 O, du lieber Augustin,
 Alles ist hin.

 Und selbst das reiche Wien,
 Hin ist's wie Augustin;
 Weint mit mir im gleichen Sinn,
 Alles ist hin!

 Jeder Tag war ein Fest,
 Und was jetzt? Pest, die Pest!
 Nur ein groß' Leichenfest,
 Das ist der Rest.

 Augustin, Augustin,
 Leg' nur ins Grab dich hin!
 O, du lieber Augustin,
 Alles ist hin!

⇒ 1685 Scotland - Annie Laurie

⇐ 1672 England - Come Lasses and Lads
