If I sit on the black steamer, Bözsikém

1. If I sit, my dear, on the black steamer, ; God knows where I'll get off, ; I'll get off in the middle of Italy, ; There, my dear, my mournful cemetery will be for me. ; ; 2. If they take me, my dear, to be a soldier, ; Come to me, you'll be a good maid, ; I'll come to you just as before, ; We'll spend the three years together, my dear, down. ; ; 3. If I die, my dear, who will mourn me, ; Who will fall on my coffin? ; My coffin has neither top nor bottom, ; God be with you, my dear, I'm going to the other world.
