SIDE ONE

2. PEOPLE ARE SAYING

Some people are saying that my face is painted That into my red cheeks money is invested. But my father does not have any such dollars That could ever purchase for my red cheeks color.

3. WHEN THE BAND PLAYS

When the band plays I feel fine, At home hungry horses neigh, And I'll advise myoid man, Sell them to the butcher, Dad.

Let's make belts of their old hides, Let's make combs of their old bones, Let's make knockers of their skulls, Let's make mirrors of their eyes!

Any hussar is well off, Does no work and only drinks. Four pennies he gets a day, Gives his girl some of them.

4. I WOULD EAT, I WOULD DRINK

I would eat, I would eat those dainty berries Which my beloved in his pocket carries. I would drink, I would drink, water I can't push down I only want m y beloved, he who lives in New Town. If I should drink water, show me where to get it It would be a pity if I had to haul it. I have drunk liquor hard, after liquor some beer To make sure that I may walk straight as a deer.

5. DANCE, MY MAIDEN

Dance, my maiden, dance, my maiden, all around me, Turn you just around me, you, m y dearest lassie, You shall be mine, you shall be mine,

you shall be mine. But for you, my sweetest girl, but for you m y dear, They would sure have captured me, To Hradiste taken me And impressed me, and impressed me,

and impressed me. But because you were, my sweetheart, so kindhearted, You've yourself a horse harnessed And after me you have sped And have saved me from that sad fate .

6. I BEHAVED LIKE

I behaved like, I behaved like one of a hundred From a high chair where I sat to a low I tumbled. R aspberries I have been picking, turning up my nose Red and ripe there were a plenty. I a g raen O:le chose. A green one, a green one, a sour berry, You won't see me, mother dear, ever again merry.

6. MAY THE DEVILS May the devils all of you, lads, may they take ye For you haven't to our dancing invited me. I would have danced passionately, Paid musicians generously And embraced all of you sweetly. What of torments has my mother suffered this night Speculating how your favor she best win might. She has used my heaps of raisins. To bake for you tasty muffins Just so that I dance with you might. It's all over, it's all over, the dance's ended, It no long, it no longer can be mended. Next time when there is a dancing Come to m y door gentiy knocking Even though the dawn be breaking.
