Sort of a long song. Finally got new strings for my fretless, will try to upload more songs this week.
According to Wikipedia,
"Prinz Eugen, der edle Ritter" (Prince Eugene, the Noble Knight) is an Austrian-German folksong about the victory of Prince Eugene of Savoy in 1717 during the Austro-Turkish War of 1716-1718.[1] It tells of the bravery of Prince Eugene, his companion Prince Ludwig who lost his life in the battle, and their soldiers in defeating the Turks and recovering the city of Belgrade for the Holy Roman Empire. The oldest known record of the song comes from a handwritten songbook of 1719. The lyricist is unknown.
Lyrics:
Prinz Eugen der edle Ritter,
wollt dem Kaiser wied'rum kriegen
Stadt und Festung Belgerad!
Er ließ schlagen eine Brukken,
daß man kunt hinüberrucken
mit der Armee vor die Stadt.
Als die Brucken nun war geschlagen,
daß man kunnt mit Stuck und Wagen
Frei passir'n den Donaufluß,
Bei Semlin schlug man das Lager,
Alle Türken zu verjagen,
Ihn'n zum Spott und zum Verdruß.
Am einundzwanzigsten August soeben
Kam ein Spion bei Sturm und Regen,
Schwur's dem Prinzen und zeigt's ihm an
Daß die Türken futragieren,
So viel, als man kunnt' verspüren,
An die dreimalhunderttausend Mann.
Als Prinz Eugenius dies vernommen,
Ließ er gleich zusammenkommen
Sein' Gen'ral und Feldmarschall.
Er tät sie recht instruieren,
Wie man sollt' die Truppen führen
Und den Feind recht greifen an.
Bei der Parol' tät er befehlen,
Daß man sollt' die Zwölfe zählen,
Bei der Uhr um Mitternacht.
Da sollt' all's zu Pferd aufsitzen,
Mit dem Feinde zu scharmützen,
Was zum Streit nur hätte Kraft.
Alles saß auch gleich zu Pferde,
Jeder griff nach seinem Schwerte,
Ganz still rückt' man aus der Schanz'.
Die Musketier' wie auch die Reiter
Täten alle tapfer streiten:
's war fürwahr ein schöner Tanz!
Ihr Konstabler auf der Schanzen,
Spielet auf zu diesem Tanzen
Mit Kartaunen groß und klein;
Mit den großen, mit den kleinen
Auf die Türken auf die Heiden,
Daß sie laufen all' davon!
Prinz Eugenius auf der Rechten
Tät als wie ein Löwe fechten,
Als Gen'ral und Feldmarschall.
Prinz Ludewig ritt auf und nieder'.
Halt't euch brav, ihr deutschen Brüder,
Greift den Feind nur herzhaft an!
Prinz Ludewig, der mußt' aufgeben
Seinen Geist und junges Leben,
Ward getroffen von dem Blei.
Prinz Eugen war sehr betrübet,
Weil er ihn so sehr geliebet,
Ließ ihn bring'n nach Peterwardein.

Pennsylvania Dutch is a weird version of old German, not dutch. Being German, I can understand PA Dutch quite fluently, if it is spoken well.

Astonishing pronunciation, it sounds like you could have a parent from Germany or something. And it sounds like you maybe took inspiration by the south German group 'Zupfgeigenhansel' ('Bürgerlied'). Keep it up, thanks!
