Troops of Geyer clad in black are we
Heia o-ho
And we will stamp out tyranny
Heia o-ho
Chorus
Spearmen ho! Forward go!
On the castle roof let the Red Cock crow
Spearmen ho! Forward go!
On the castle roof let the Red Cock crow
When Adam dug and Eve did toil
Heia o-ho
No princes trespassed on their soil
Heia o-ho
Bold Geyer's men their arrows shoot
The knights are laid low
His banner bears a peasant's boot
To stamp out the foe
The noble's only God is pride
Heia o-ho
The Holy Scripture is our guide
Heia o-ho
We're beaten though our cause is right
Heia o-ho
Our sons will carry on the fight
Heia o-ho
