The Outlaw's Travel Letter (Should I Run or Stop) (I Fell Asleep on the Banks of the Tisza River)

Song

I fell asleep on the banks of the Tisza, ; Alas, I had a sad dream. ; I dreamed that dream, ; My baby, I will not be yours. ; ; Alas, my God, what should I do, ; Should I run or should I stay? ; If I run, they will chase me, ; If I stay, they will tie me up. ; ; Alas, my God, my creator, ; Save my beautiful lover. ; Save her, from death, ; From those murderous slaves. ; ; Alas, my God, let me live, ; I will go to the one I love. ; If you don't give me that, let me live, ; Shorten my life.
