My mother went out to the garden.

1. My mother went out into the little garden, ; She looked up at the starry skies, ; Starry skies I'm killing myself, ; They're taking my son to be a soldier. ; ; 2. My mother, don't kill yourself, ; Instead, ask for Ferenc Jóska first. ; Ferenc Jóska himself says: ; An only son cannot be a soldier. ; ; 3. I was an only son to my mother, ; Yet they conscripted me to be a soldier. ; I drew the first ticket ; This brown little girl must be left here.
