Neckar Bridge Blues
Listen, listen to me, listen to what I wanna tell you nowIt's a little story about what happened yesterday mornin'
The postman walked up to me and told me:
'Little one, come here, I've got to tell you somethin'
Your Karl went across the bridge again
He went across the bridge again, to see that other woman.'
Oh, I said to the postman:
'Listen, that's my Karl's affairs.
You don't force nobody to find his happiness
And if he thinks he must go across the bridge
So may he go, may he go, may he go!'
'I know, he shall come back again.
He shall come back as soon as he gets hungry.'
Men always come back again.
Mostly when they're hungry or when they're sick - Thank God.
And my Karl is one of that kind, too.
Thank God, thank God, thank God.
No, he can't even go away that many times
As he'll come back across the bridge
[Interlude]
There he is back on my door, my Karl
And cheekily he says to me:
'Little one, hey, listen to me!
I just go out to have a quick beer
I'll be back soon.'
Oh Karl, oh Karl, oh Karl, oh Karl, oh Karl,
You've got your hat sittin' on the back of your head.
I know for sure
He's gonna go across the bridge again.
He's going across the Mannheim bridge again
The bridge across the river Neckar
The Mannheim, Mannheim, Mannheim, Mannheim, ...
Bridge across the Neckar
Across the bridge, come back, come back across the bridge
Back and forth, back and forth, come and go
Across the bridge, the Mannheim bridge, the bridge across the Neckar
The Mannheim bridge across the Neckar
