Two Kinds of Brides (They're Asking for My Aunt)
Song
They ask for my sister - a fancy tailor, ; They asked for me too - a poor farmhand. ; Great joy for my sister - a fancy tailor, ; While I am mourning - the poor farmhand. ; ; They are taking my sister - in a golden carriage, ; They are taking me too - in a donkey cart. ; Great joy for my sister - a fancy tailor, ; While I am mourning - the poor farmhand. ; ; They are laying my sister - in a fancy bed, ; They are laying me too - in a pig's sty. ; Great joy for my sister - a fancy tailor, ; While I am mourning - the poor farmhand. ; ; They are feeding my sister - from a golden plate, ; They feed me too – from a pig’s trough. ; Great joy for my aunt – a fancy tailor, ; While I mourn – a poor farmhand. ; ; They are already waking my aunt – with a six-pronged whip, ; They would wake me too – with a beautiful dawn kiss. ; I mourn for my aunt – a fancy tailor, ; And great joy for me – a poor farmhand.
