The exterminated tavern owner family (Oh, how long, oh, how long is this road)

Song

Oh, how wide, oh, how long this road is, ; Nine knights set out on their journey. ; Nine knights set out on their journey, ; They turned into the innkeeper's yard. ; ; – May God grant you a good evening, Innkeeper, ; – May God grant you luck too. ; – May the innkeeper wish you luck, ; The big knife will still be in your heart tonight. ; ; – My daughter Mári, run to the cellar, ; Bring up some wine for your sweet little one. ; – We don't need wine, the innkeeper, ; Only her daughter will give her life here. ; ; The innkeeper ran out into the little garden, ; She looked up at the starry sky: ; – My God, take my soul to you, ; They will shed my blood that very night. ; ; Alas, but they ring the bells beautifully in the evening, ; They will carry the innkeeper to the cemetery. ; The innkeeper, with her faithful companion, ; And that beautiful unmarried daughter.
