They're already recruiting us with ropes

They are already being used to tie us up with ropes, ; They take away the poor man by force. ; If a farmer has five or six sons, they do not harm him, ; If a poor man has one, they carry him away. ; ; His father and mother go after him, lamenting him, ; They ask for his money, he cannot redeem it. ; Go home, poor man, they say, ; Take care of your poor pansies.
