Troops of Geyer clad in black are we
Heia o-ho
And we will stamp out tyranny
Heia o-ho
 [bad word] Spearmen ho! Forward go!
On the castle roof let the Red [bad word] crow
Spearmen ho! Forward go!
On the castle roof let the Red [bad word] crow

When Adam dug and Eve did toil
Heia o-ho
No princes trespassed on their soil
Heia o-ho

Bold Geyer's men their arrows shoot
The knights are laid low
His banner bears a peasant's boot
To stamp out the foe

The noble's only God is pride
Heia o-ho
The Holy Scripture is our guide
Heia o-ho

We're beaten though our cause is right
Heia o-ho
Our sons will carry on the fight
Heia o-ho
