Two Kinds of Brides (They're Asking for My Aunt)

Song

They are asking for my sister, – a fancy tailor, ; They would ask for me too – a poor cowherd. ; Great joy for my sister – a fancy tailor, ; Hey, I am weeping – a poor cowherd. ; ; They are taking my sister, – in a lovely carriage, ; They are taking me too – in a donkey cart. ; Great joy for my sister – a fancy tailor, ; Hey, I am weeping – a poor cowherd. ; ; They are taking my sister – to a fancy palace, ; They are taking me too – to a pig’s sty. ; Great joy for my sister – a fancy tailor, ; Hey, I am weeping – a poor cowherd. ; ; They are laying my sister – in a towering bed, ; They are taking me too – to the pig pen. ; Great joy for my aunt – a fancy tailor, ; Hey, I am weeping – a poor cowherd. ; ; They are waking my aunt – with a six-pronged whip, ; They are waking me too – with a beautiful dawn kiss. ; I am weeping for my aunt – a fancy tailor, ; Hey, I am weeping – a poor cowherd.
