Lyr Req: German song 'Musich Den'

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

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

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.

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.

What a small (internet) world, Allan. Frank is a very nice man, indeed.
