Da sa ßen Män ner mit brau nen Au gen und mit (Ab)schwar (Bb)zem (Eb)Haar.

Und aus der Juke box er klang Mu sik, die fremd und süd (Fm)lich (Bb7)war.

Als man mich (Cm)sah, stand ei ner (Gm7)auf und lud mich (Cm)ein.

und die alt ver trau ten Lie der, (Eb)schenk noch mal ein,

denn ich fühl die Sehn sucht wie der.

(Bb7)In die ser Stadt

werd ich im mer nur ein Frem der (Cm)sein

und al (Cm)lein.

Und dann er - (Cm)- lein.
