| SONG FOR A DARK GIRL | LIED AUS DIXIELAND |
| | |
| Way Down South in Dixie | Weit unten, im Süden, in Dixieland |
| (Break the heart of me) | O brich, mein Herz, o brich! |
| They hung my black young lover | Sie haben an einen Baum dich gehängt, |
| To a cross roads tree. | o Ärmster, Liebster, dich! |
| | |
| Way Down South in Dixie | Weit unten, im Süden, in Dixieland |
| (Bruised body high in air) | Zermalt, vom Wind umweht! |
| I asked the white Lord Jesus | Und ich hab den weissen Herrn Jesu gefragt: |
| What was the use of prayer. | Wozu, wozu noch das Gebet? |
| | |
| Way Down South in Dixie | Weit unten, im Süden, in Dixieland |
| (Break the heart of me) | Ich leb', ich atme kaum. |
| Love is a naked shadow | O Liebe, nackter Schatten |
| On a gnarled and naked tree. | An einem kahlen Baum! |
