Joe-

I don't sing in German much so I posted English lyrics to "Ach Du Lieber Augustin."

Masato-

Thanks for your contribution about "O Du Lieber Augustin" and all.

To all-

So does this mean that "Ach Du Lieber Augustin" is from around 1697 and "Jenny's Bawbie" appeared around 1776? Does this mean that the "Jenny's Bawbie" melody originates with "Ach Du Lieber Augustin"?

Any other US folk versions?
