Lyrics:
Johidi johida falleri joha A penny in the tavern turns the water into wine La, la, la, la, la la, One and seven pennies were all I could call mine I strolled into a tavern and I turned them all to wine The tavern keeper's daughter was plain as plain could be But after I had drunk the wine, how beautiful was she And when the glass was empty I gave the maid a wink So with a kiss and with a hug I begged for more to drink The tavern keeper blessed me, the maid she yelled "away" So now I own the tavern and I drink both night and day |
