The man to behold is the draerman bold
A draegerman bold is he
Trapped deep in the mine neath the rock and the slime
Are men whom he must set free

By the sweat of his brow his muscle and might
He tears the earth asunder so that men might see the light
The man to behold is the draegerman bold
A draegerman bold is he

Down he goes like a badger
Or a ferret seeking its prey
Inch by inch and foot by foot
Night by night and day by day.
His mission done, for he has won
Those men he has set free.
The man to behold is the draegerman bold
A draegerman bold is he
A draegerman bold is he.

A draegerman I want to be
Yes siree I’m goin’ to be
A draegerman I’m goin’ to be
He does such noble deeds
I’ll go down deep into the mine
I’ll rescue men from every clime
I’ll make the whole world want to chime
“I want to be a draegerman.”
