Why did I become a shepherd boy, baby?
Song
Why did I become a shepherd's boy, my dear? ; Why did I become the daughter of the Baron of Egri? ; Little Mariska is not fit for a shepherdess, ; Because the tree will push up her weak feet. ; ; They are carving that tree down there now, ; On which the shepherd's boy will be hung. ; The wind blows her black curly hair, ; Someone else is embracing the daughter of the Baron of Egri.
