The Gunaras Girl (I Fought Out My Goose)

Song

I drove my goose out ; To the Csicsa bank. ; There went the judge's son, ; He swung me. ; ; – Don't swing, judge's son, ; My gray-haired scoundrel, ; I'm going home, to your father, ; I'll complain. ; ; – May God grant me, my lord judge, ; A lucky day. ; – May God grant me, my daughter Mari, ; What's wrong with you? ; ; – He swung me, my son, ; My gray-haired scoundrel. ; – What do you ask for it, my daughter Mari, ; I'll give it to you. ; ; – For the zuzáj, for the májáj, ; Two golden apples. ; For the two dancing legs, ; Two bushels of wheat. ; ; – Well, that beautiful, dimpled, ; Garádicsos scoundrel's neck, *) ; So how much is it worth? ; – Take the judge's son, ; I don't need any wages. ; ; * ) to the first line of the melody
