This little folky tune, also known as "Lied des Marmottenbuben", was the result of a collaboration between two of the heavyweights of German culture: it's a setting by Beethoven of words written (many years earlier) by Goethe. Still sung around campfires in Germany today, and as I think it sounds much better that way than as a parlour piano piece, I'm just playing the simple unadorned melody.
Played on my Mid-Missouri M-0W mandolin.
