| My son this news is quite a shock | |
| I’m told you’ve done a runner | |
| I suppose it’s all the same to you | |
| If your family goes under | |
| Oh father dearest father | |
| Vienna called to me | |
| And all in all I’d rather | |
| Be here than in the bishopry | |
| Oh father … | |
| So now you do betray me | |
| The father that you love | |
| Well may you be forgiven | |
| By a God above | |
| So you left your job in Salzburg | |
| Not content to run a choir | |
| Not content with an honest buck | |
| To see your heart’s desire | |
| Oh father dearest father | |
| Now I play to the Kaiser | |
| And since I’ve moved to the capital | |
| I’m wealthy and I’m wiser | |
| Oh father father … | |
| So you do betray me | |
| The father that you love | |
| Well may you be forgiven | |
| By a God above | |
| And if that was not enough | |
| To cause your father’s heart to break | |
| Well now I hear you’ve set up house | |
| With that nest of Weber snakes | |
| Oh father dearest father | |
| How my loins do yearn | |
| And St.Paul tells us it’s better | |
| That we marry than we burn | |
| So father … | |
| So now you do betray me | |
| The father that you love | |
| Well may you be forgiven | |
| By a God above | |
| Oh father | |
| Amen |
