from an old english Hans Anderson -

Oh, my little Augustin, Augustin, Augustin
Oh, my little Augustin, everythings gone.
Our clothes are gone and our bags,
Augustin's dressed in rags,
Oh, my little Augustin everythings gone.

The tune was in use in England and America as early as 1830 for a song called 'Buy a Broom' sung by Madame Vestris. It was sung in English with a German accent. It starts 'From Teutschland I came
with my light wares all laden.'
