Joe Dowell - Wooden Heart

[chessiy]

1.) Muss i denn, muss i denn zum Städtele hinaus, Städtele hinaus, Und du, mein Schatz, bleibst hier? Wenn i komm’, wenn i komm’, wenn i wiedrum komm’, Kehr’ i ein, mein Schatz, bei dir. Kann i glei net allweil bei dir sein, Han i doch mein Freud’ an dir! Wenn i komm’, wenn i komm’, wenn i wiedrum komm’, Kehr’ i ein, mein Schatz, bei dir.

[chessiy]

2.) Wie du weinst, wie du weinst, Dass i wandere muss, wandere muss, Wie wenn d’ Lieb’ jetzt wär’ vorbei! Sind au drauss, sind au drauss Der Mädele viel, Mädele viel, Lieber Schatz, i bleib dir treu. Denk du net, wenn i ’ne Andre seh’, No sei mein’ Lieb’ vorbei; Sind au drauss, sind au drauss Der Mädele viel, Mädele viel, Lieber Schatz, i bleib dir treu.

[chessiy]

3.) Über’s Jahr, über’s Jahr, Wenn me Träubele schneid’t, Träubele schneid’t, Stell’ i hier mi wiedrum ein; Bin i dann, bin i dann Dein Schätzele noch, Schätzele noch, So soll die Hochzeit sein. Über’s Jahr, do ist mein’ Zeit vorbei, Da g’hör’ i mein und dein; Bin i dann, bin i dann Dein Schätzele noch, Schätzele noch, So soll die Hochzeit sein.

Olive Rose, this is for you..1969

This is the very same rendition, I believe, played on a loop in Hersheypark. Or at least it was 13 years ago when I worked there. It was played in the carousel area I think. I've always loved this song and have been looking for this version for a long time. I found the Elvis version and the Tom Petty cover of the Elvis rendition, but never found this one until now. Thank you for posting it!

This guy comes in my bar. He was there last night watching the bulls game. He lives right behind the bar, he rides his bike up the bar.

i was suprised to hear my dad say that one of his clients had a hit, he writes music with joe, and as soon as i heard i looked him him up to see what song he sang, didnt know it was written by elvis.

[Oldiesmann]

@MrNelsot16 Elvis' version is the most well-known, but he didn't write it. It was written by Fred Wise, Ben Weisman, Kay Twomey and Bert Kaempfert and is based on an old German folk song. See Wikipedia for more info.

It's a good song, but I remember (being an Elvis fan) I was mad at Joe Dowell for a while because I thought he "stole" the song from Elvis (from G.I. Blues).

[DaveWollenberg]

Billboard's 95th #1 hit of the rock era. God bless!

ein schönes altes deutsches volkslied

[oldbobg]

Reading the comments made me think, wow, a long time ago---1961. I was a 13 year old boy, didn't have a girl friend but oh how I loved this tune. Old German tune still loved today. Thanks for uploading! I'll have to go dig out my 45's!

I used to play this in the Jukebox when I was a kid.

garybrown57 I think I know how you feel!

When I hear this old tracks it always bring back a lot of memories, mostly good ones, cause the bad one's you've forgot long times ago (or you've wished).

I don't know wich version I should prefer,the King's or this one?

That's a hard choice.

Thanks for sharing theese old memories with your fan's!
