“I goes to fight mit Sigel.”
	Air - “The girl I left behind me.”
(1)
I’ve come shusht now to tell you how
I goes mit regimentals,
To schlanck dem foes of liberty,
Like dem old continentals;
Vat fight mit England long ago,
To save the Yankee Eagle,
Un now I gits my solger clothes,
I’m going to fight mit Sigel,
Chorus - Yaw, daus is true I speak mit you,
	I’m going to fight mit Sigel.
(2)
Ven I comes from the Deuche country,
I vorks sometimes at baking, [crossed out] [at baking],
Den I keeps lager beer saloon,
Un den I goes shoemaking;
But now I vas a [crossed out] [Soldier] solger been,
To save the Yankee Eagle;
I schlanch dem tam secession volks;
I’m going to fight mit Sigel.
	Chorus, Yaw, etc -

(3) I gits ein tam big rifle gun
And puts him to my shoulder,
Den march so balk like a big jack horse,
Ven may be something bolder;
I goes off mit the volunteers,
To save the Yankee Eagle,
To give dem rebel vellers fits,
I’m going to fight mit Sigel
(4) Dem Dutchmen mit Sigel’s band,
At fighting have no rival,
Un ven Chief Davis’ men we meet,
We schlanch ‘em like de teyvil
Dere’s only van ding vat I fear,
Ven pattling for de Eagle,
I von’t get no more lager beer,
Ven I goes to fight mit Sigel.
(5) For rations dey gives us salt pork,
I tinks dat vas a great sell,
I better likes the de sour kraut,
De switzercase un pretzel
If little [Mack?] will give us dem,
Ve’ll save the Yankee Eagle,
Un I’ll put mine frau in breecherloons
To go and fight mit Sigel
