The Murdered Spinner (You Girls of Tornóc)
Song
You girls of Tornóc, I will give you an example, ; If you went to the spinning mill, you did not bring a skein, ; Now if you brought a skein, you will also walk like that, ; On Saturday at eight o'clock your words will stop. ; ; It is evening, it is evening, it has become dark, ; Since my heart is also sad: ; I have cried enough, I will cry no more, ; I will not walk in your spinning mills any more. ; ; The mournful coffin of Marcsa Szőcs of Szégín, ; On the Tornóc hill, there will be her rest. ; They will pull the earth over her mourning coffin, ; So that every virgin girl may take care of herself. ; ; May my body, like your body, lie in a grave, (to the 3rd line of the melody) ; May my blood, like your blood, flow in a stream, (to the 3rd line of the melody) ; May my soul, like your soul, serve a lord. (to the 4th line of the melody)
