Wolfgang, that pronunciation guide was prepared at my request many years ago by the man who is responsible for creating that site, Frank Petersohn. I think it was one of the nicest things that (up until the time I found the Mudcat) anyone online had ever done for me.

I Thought the song was title "Muss Ich Denn" Neil PS Elvis did a version but a singer named Dick Haymes did it around the same time.

More information here including a pronounciation guide. The dialect this song is written in is Suebian.

I'm sure I didn't spell it right. It's the melody that Elvis Presley used for "Wooden Heart". I know the first verse and have been told by Germans that I sing it perfectly. I'd like to know some more verses to this song. If there are more verses and any one knows them, send the lyrics in the German Alphabet. I have some German friends who will help me with pronunciation.

(not serious)
Do you know why German Music goes "OOmpha" "OOmpha"?

Answer: Because you can't sustain a note on a word ending in "HKHHK"

Thank you in advance
