Unser Vater holte in der Nacht
in größter Not
unser täglich Brot
aus dem königlichen Wald,
und nach einer Dieberei
schlug man ihn tot.
Unsere Mutter fand das Diebesgut
und fuhr gen München hin,
nur noch Geld in Sinn.
Wegen dieser Hehlerei
zog sie in das Zuchthaus ein
und war dahin.
Ich wollte doch nur nach Amerika,
noch einmal neu anfangen in Freiheit!
Ich wollte doch nur nach Amerika,
neuer Start, neues Glück, ich wollt' nie mehr zurück!
Mein Bruder war ja da noch fast ein Kind,
doch schießen konnt' er gut
und war so voller Wut!
Er schoss zwei Gendarmen umund so sperrten sie uns ein,
er starb dort an Skorbut.
Meine Schwester zog die Kleinen groß,
im Dorfe man sie mied,
zum Fortzug man ihr riet,
doch da war kein Geld.
Und dann wurde sie krank
und sie verschied.
Ich wollte doch nur nach Amerika,
noch einmal neu anfangen in Freiheit!
Ich wollte doch nur nach Amerika,
neuer Start, neues Glück, ich wollt' nie mehr zurück!
Ich brauchte Geld für meine Überfahrt,
keine Arbeit gab's für mich,
lange Finger machte ich,
und ich wurd' erwischt
und dann fiel ein Schuss,
die Jagd auf mich war fürchterlich.
Nach langer Flucht,
nach wochenlanger Hast
haben sie mich dann gestellt,
in einem Stall auf einem Feld
und ich habe mich gewehrt,
brachte wieder Menschen um
jetzt das Fallbeil fällt.
Ich wollte doch nur nach Amerika,
noch einmal neu anfangen in Freiheit!
Ich wollte doch nur nach Amerika,
neuer Start, neues Glück, ich wollt' nie mehr zurück!
