Weggis a town? Just who translated that ruddy thing?

For those who don't know it, it's about 5 km by water and 20 or more by land, and either baking hot or freezing cold with it. Weggis is not the largest of villages, surviving mostly from tourism as the starting point for the funicular railway over the Rigi mountain behind.

The interesting thing about this song from a linguistic angle is just how old the language is, it's more 11th Century than 20th. The song itself is probably 18th, at a broad guess.
