To the bottom of the Danish wasteland

Song

1. The Danish steppes are the bottom, ; There stood an inn all alone, ; István Szarvas was its owner, ; His wife and daughter were by his side. ; ; 2. Friday night it was nine o'clock, ; The woman and Teruska went to bed, ; Mr. Szarvas is alone, ; Listen, maybe the innkeeper will have another guest. ; ; 3. He didn't have to wait long, ; Because soon a gypsy army arrived, ; The gypsies asked for a drink in droves, ; And yet that caravan was thirsty for blood. ; ; 4. Mr. Szarvas went to the cellar for wine, ; Meanwhile a loud scream came to his ears, ; He hurried back to his apartment, ; He saw his wife already dead. ; ; 5. Lejányo was also killed, ; The milk cart driver was lying in the barn, ; When Mr. Deer saw this, ; He fled from the back room. ; ; 6. The wild gang quickly ran after him, ; It was no use that the door was locked, ; Because they quickly cut it open with an axe, ; They put an end to Mr. Deer's life. ; ; 7. When they had finished with the four lives in this way, ; They gathered up all their valuables, ; As if they had done their job well, ; Moreover, they set fire to the inn.
