The Cheating Husband (I Went Into My Yard)

Song

I went into my yard, ; What should I see, ; There is still a hussar tied up, ; In my yard. ; ; I ask my wife, ; – What is the matter, my angel? ; – What is this hussar doing ; In my yard? ; ; – You see wrong, my sweet husband, ; Where is the hussar horse here? ; A milk cow from the fair, ; And I tied it there. ; ; A milk cow, bridle, ; Oh who has seen it? ; Since the starry sky, ; And the world stands. ; ; I went into the kitchen, ; What should I see? ; There is a pair of boots laid ; On the bench there. ; ; I ask my wife: ; – What is the matter, my angel? ; – What are these pair of boots doing ; On the bench there. ; ; – You see wrong, my sweet husband, ; Where are the boots here? ; Milk and scoundrel from the fair ; I put that there. ; ; Milk and scoundrel with spurs ; Oh who has seen it? ; Since the starry sky ; And the world stands. ; ; I went into my room, ; What should I see, ; There is a golden watch ; On my table. ; ; I asked my wife: ; – What is the matter, my angel? ; What is the golden watch doing ; On my table? ; ; You see wrong, my sweet husband, ; Where is the golden watch here? ; I peeled an onion ; I put that there. ; ; An onion with a golden chain ; Oh who has seen it? ; Since the starry sky ; And the world stands. ; ; I looked into my bed, ; What should I see: ; A soldier has been killed ; On my bed. ; ; I ask my wife: ; What's wrong, my angel? ; What's this soldier doing ; On my bed? ; ; You're looking bad, my dear husband, ; Where's the soldier here? ; The maid has fallen ill, ; He was lying there. ; ; A blond little girl, with a brown mustache ; Oh, who's seen it? ; Since the starry sky ; And the world stands still.
