Can someone tell me this tradiontional German Song?

Question

My Grandpa used to sing this all the time. I can not write it correctly but I know it means Oh my Augulstine , everything is lost, everything is gone

I also remember a part of the song that talks about a place he compared to Times Square NYC.

It starts Oct ta lieben Augulstine Augulstine Augulustine sfec

:

Oct ta lieben Augulastine, Aululsine sfec.

If I can get the German lyrics, though I'd like the english translation.

Please email me if you think you can get it I have a track of my Grandpa singing it. And I can send it to you.

Thanks in advance

Ach, Du lieber Augustine, Augustine, Augustine

Ach, Du lieber Augustine,

Oh, my dear Augustine,

All has been lost"
