| I am an elder sailor, |
| enjoy going to sea. |
| I prefer to drink a rumgrog |
| on land and so at sea. |
| And when I have a heavy head |
| I'll set my boat on mud, |
| I'll have a drink, what's the matter, |
| I am truly satisfied. |

| The others are on Norderney, |
| I'm on the Baltmer mud. |
| they're going through the bars there, |
| I'm slowly getting fed up. |
| I wish my boat would float again, |
| I have to bore for six hours ore more! |
| There's no sailing on the mud, |
| it's only for a farmer lout! |

| Time passes by, I'm suffering now |
| and then the water comes. |
| It's rumbling and gurgling round the boat |
| and really wakes me up. |
| And when my boat is finally free |
| and sails as light as a feather, |
| I turn around and laugh and cry |
| and think: Oh Wadden Sea. |
