Zieh Den Kopf Aus Der Schlinge, Bruder John

(Brother John)

It was a beautiful day in Tennessee
She was sitting opposite me while playing poker
Beautiful women don't have to wait
I thought and threw the cards
And I put my arm tightly around her

The opportunity did not arise a second time
Because there was suddenly a noise in the restaurant
Yes, the guy who was at the bar
Was her boyfriend which I didn't realize
And so she unfortunately had no other choice

Get your head out of the noose, Brother John
(Brother John)
Take the next horse and ride away quickly
(Brother John)
Because what good is it if you are nice
But afterwards you are a sieve
Get your head out of the noose Brother John

Peggy Lee sold sausage in Florida
After the third sausage she said 'yes'
And I became more and more bold
But her husband was a master butcher
And he suddenly came unexpectedly close to me

Seconds later I was on the run
And I sought salvation in alcohol
Better blue like a thousand violets
This will pass after a while
But how long does a blow of jealousy hurt!

Get your head out of the noose, Brother John
(Brother John)
Take the nearest horse and ride away quickly
(Brother John)
Nothing seems to work out in love
Do you have a knife in your back
Get your head out of the noose, Brother John

Every jug goes to the well until it breaks
One came like milk and blood was her face
I couldn't resist
Take a look at her bed
Yes, she kissed like the others before
But the fox went into the trap it was over
Every day I just sit at her house, obediently
Even the whisky stays in the cellar
Afterwards, you only become brighter
A man can't live without a girl

Singing haja jippy jippy yeah
(Yippee yeah)
Singing haja jippy jippy yeah
(Yippee yeah)
Singing yeah, yeah jippy jippy jaja
Jippy jippy yeah jippy jippy yeah

Hey, get your head out of the noose, Brother John
(Brother John)
Take the nearest horse and ride away quickly
(Brother John)
First they let you stew
But then you are lost
Then you're in the noose Brother John
Yes then you are in the noose Brother John
(Brother John)
Oh, yeah
