Jóuska Jágër, famous wrestler

Song

1. Jóuska Jágër is a famous swindler; She wears silk clothes to her feet. ; She walks in the market of Eger, ; They think she is a young lady. ; ; 2. From one shop to another, ; She picks out the linens. ; Choose, pretty young lady, ; Don't hurry so much. ; ; 3. I must hurry, shopkeeper, ; Because my journey is far, ; Write it on the shop door, ; Jóuska Jágër bought here. ; ; 4. The time is already getting late, ; The green forest is covered in mourning, ; Here lives a famous swindler, ; Who stands before men. ; ; 5. Good evening, sweet brother, ; Is there cheese, bacon, bread, ; There is cheese, bacon, bread, ; Eat, my friend, while you can. ; ; 6. They finished their dinner, ; They began the great quarrel, ; Bring your hair in a ring, ; Your boots with spurs. ; ; 7. I will not give you my axe, ; Until I drive my flock. ; When I drive my flock, ; I will give you my axe, my axe. ; ; 8. The son of the living God, ; Give strength to my arms, ; So that I may kill Jóuska Jágér, ; That mischievous brute. ; ; 9. I took up my axe, ; I killed Jóuska Jágér, ; Lie here, brother Jóuska, ; Until the time for the carriage arrives. ; ; 10. They arrived home at dawn, ; I'll put you in a carriage, ; I'll come for you in a steel carriage, ; I'll take you home, I'll bury you. ; ; 11. My lord judge, my lord judge, ; Jóuska Jágér lies dead, ; I shot him, I don't deny it, ; I also confess to the law.
