Cut that skin off with an axe.
Song
1. Cut down that tree with an axe, from which I will make a goose barn, ; Burn that tree with fire, from which I will make a spindle barn. ; Bring water to that land, from which I will make hemp barn, ; I don’t need hemp, only the sedge, ; I’ll make a fire from the sedge, I’ll warm myself at his place. ; ; 2. Hey, someone, someone, come to sleep with me, ; My master is not at home, he’s there to mow. ; Nine bald men, his hair just flutters, ; My winged bird, doesn’t fly to every branch. ; ; * I always lie on the quilted bed, ; I just lay my weak body on the dry bench. ; ; 3. Could you sleep at night, Poli, in the spinning wheel, ; The devils could sleep in the great beating, ; My eyes will also grow dim in the great vigilance, ; My pendulum will fly away in the great croaking. ; ; 4. I went to your wife, although I did not go, ; I took a wife from someone, although I did not take her. ; Although the devil would have her, he would have put her in his basket, ; The more he would have howled, the better he would have carried her. ; ; * to the melody of lines 3, 4
