My sweet dear wife
Song
1. My sweet, dear wife, ; What are you doing next week? ; I forbid hemp, my mind is on hemp, ; All week. ; ; 2. – My sweet, dear wife, ; What will you be working on this week? ; – I spin, weave, tailor, sew shirts, trousers ; For my good lord. ; ; 3. – Come, dear lady of the house, ; Where are you in such a hurry? ; – I'm going to the pub, to a dance, to a party, ; Come with me. ; ; 4. Farmer Ambrus came in the evening, ; His shirt and trousers were ragged, ; He reached into the chest, found a cobweb, ; It was in there. ; ; 5. A cruel life, he said, ; Where is the woman? May she receive ; The reward of her work, the price of my shirt, trousers, ; With a walking stick.
