In the year eighteen hundred and forty-seven
Song
1. In the year 1847, ; What happened at the base of the wheat heap. ; Julcsa Szabó stepped onto the heap, ; He fell straight into the drum. ; ; 2. When his lover saw this, ; – Mr. Machinist, stop the machine, ; But the machinist doesn’t want to hear it, ; His machine doesn’t want to stop. ; ; 3. Julcsa Szabó was put on the cart, ; They took him to the chief physician, ; The chief physician turns aside, says: ; – Only God can cure this. ; ; 4. Open your green-painted gate, my mother, ; Here they bring your broken daughter, ; Her red blood is flowing like a stream, ; Her lover’s heart is almost bursting.
