COAL-BLACK milk of morning we drink it at evening
we drink it at noon and at daybreak we drink it at night
we drink and we drink
we shovel a grave in the skies there is room enough there
A man lives in the house he plays with his vipers he writes
he writes when it darkens to Germany your golden hair Marguerite
he writes it and steps out of doors and the stars are shining
he whistles his dogs to come up
he whistles his Jews to come out to shovel a grave in the ground
he commands us strike up a tune for the dance
Coal-black milk of morning we drink you at night
we drink you at daybreak and noon and we drink you at evening
we drink and we drink
A man lives in the house he plays with his vipers he writes
he writes when it darkens to Germany your golden hair Marguerite
Your ashen hair Shulamite we shovel a grave in the skies there is room enough there
He shouts dig deeper into the earth you here and you there start singing and playing
he clutches the gun in his belt he waves it his eyes are blue
dig deeper your spades you here and you there keep playing that dance tune
Coal-black milk of morning we drink you at night
we drink you at noon and at daybreak we drink you at evening
we drink and we drink
a man lives in the house your golden hair Marguerite
your ashen hair Shulamite he plays with his vipers
He shouts play the death tune sweeter death is a master from Germany
he shouts strike up the fiddles more darkly you'll rise like the smoke to the sky
you'll have your own grave in the clouds there is room enough there
Coal-black milk of morning we drink you at night
we drink you at noon death is a master from Germany
we drink you at evening and at daybreak we drink and we drink
death is a master from Germany his eye is blue
he hits you with bullets of lead his target is you
a man lives in the house your golden hair Marguerite
he sets loose his dogs after us he gives us a grave in the sky
he plays with his vipers and dreams death is a master from Germany
your golden hair Marguerite
your ashen hair Shulamite.
