Helmut Qualtinger
The Bundesbahnblues
(Now I’m going to sing for you that old Bundesbahnblues!)
Oh I was tEravelling through this country, travelling with the Bundesbahn. 
Ah geh wusch ah geh wui!
I said, I was tAravelling through this country, with the doggone BundesEbahn.
(I said) Ah geh wusch ah geh wui!
BTaking along my baby sAuddenly she was gEone. Total verschwunden.
And now I’m looking for my baby, isn’t it a doggone shame. Himmelfix no amal!
I said I’m lAooking for my baby, isn’t it a doggone shEame. (I said) Himmelfix no amal! (And I mean it!)
BThere is just the FahrplanA, of the Bundesbahn to bElame, zu blöd!
Is she in Scheibbs, in Lunz, in Ybbs, in Schruns, in Wulkaprodersdorf, in Attnang-Puchheim ?
Is she in MAistelbach, in Stinkenbrunn, in Zwettl or in lovely WieselbEurg ?
BAll I know she’s gone A(and) somewhere im g’scherten JogellEand ? My poor baby!
Is she in Hadersdorf, Weidlingau, in Kaisermühlen, Gänserndorf, Amstetten ?
Is she in ABreitenfurt, Klagenfurt, in Ischl or in Fuschl or in GEraz ?
BTell me where’s my baby, Aor I’m certainly going Enuts, sonst wir i narrisch!
Is she in Oberlaa, is she in Unterlaa, is she in Erlaa or is she in Laa an der Thaya?
Dann schrei i Feuer!
Is she in ABruck an der Mur, an der Ybbs, an der Donau, or is she in Bruck an der LEeitha,
and so weiter.
BThis is no Genuß, AI sing the Bundesbahn-BElues for my baby.
I ask the Bahnhofsvorstand, I ask the Kassier, I ask the man who sells the heisse Würstel.
I Aask the Fahrdienstleiter, the man with the Beer, I even ask the Putzfrau with the EBürstel.
(But) nBobody could tell meA, Where my baby might Ebe, not even Mrs Bures !
Since then I’m travelling through this country, using still the Bundesbahn,
from Bludenz to Marchegg.
ALooking for my baby from Braunau to St.Veit an der EGlan, but my baby is weg ! 
BWearing out my shoesA, Singing the Bundesbahn-BElues, Singing the Bundesbahn-Blues.
Ba, ba, ba, ba, bu, bu, ba!

Taking along my baby suddenly she was gone. Total verschwunden.

And now I’m looking for my baby, isn’t it a doggone shame. Himmelfix no amal!

A E

I said I’m looking for my baby, isn’t it a doggone shame. (I said) Himmelfix no amal! (And I mean it!)

There is just the Fahrplan, of the Bundesbahn to blame, zu blöd!

Is she in Scheibbs, in Lunz, in Ybbs, in Schruns, in Wulkaprodersdorf, in Attnang-Puchheim ?

A E

Is she in Mistelbach, in Stinkenbrunn, in Zwettl or in lovely Wieselburg ?

All I know she’s gone (and) somewhere im g’scherten Jogelland ? My poor baby!

Is she in Hadersdorf, Weidlingau, in Kaisermühlen, Gänserndorf, Amstetten ?

A E

Is she in Breitenfurt, Klagenfurt, in Ischl or in Fuschl or in Graz ?

B A E

Tell me where’s my baby, or I’m certainly going nuts, sonst wir i narrisch!

Is she in Oberlaa, is she in Unterlaa, is she in Erlaa or is she in Laa an der Thaya?

Dann schrei i Feuer!

A E

Is she in Bruck an der Mur, an der Ybbs, an der Donau, or is she in Bruck an der Leitha,

and so weiter.

This is no Genuß, I sing the Bundesbahn-Blues for my baby.

I ask the Bahnhofsvorstand, I ask the Kassier, I ask the man who sells the heisse Würstel.

A E

I ask the Fahrdienstleiter, the man with the Beer, I even ask the Putzfrau with the Bürstel.

B A E

(But) nobody could tell me, Where my baby might be, not even Mrs Bures !

Since then I’m travelling through this country, using still the Bundesbahn,

from Bludenz to Marchegg.

A E

Looking for my baby from Braunau to St.Veit an der Glan, but my baby is weg !

B A E

Wearing out my shoes, Singing the Bundesbahn-Blues, Singing the Bundesbahn-Blues.

Ba, ba, ba, ba, bu, bu, ba!
