POLISH HAYING SONG

On a Monday morning, sunny Monday morning,
Sowed our seed, tatus* and I
Sowed it when the sun was high
Sowed our seed, tatus and I
Sowed it when the sun was high

Tuesday...mowed our hay
Wednesday...dried our hay
Thursday...raked our hay
Friday...hauled our hay....hauled it 'til the dusk was nigh

On a Saturday morning, sunny noon and evening
Sold our hay, tatus and I
Sold it when the night was nigh...

On a Sunday morning, bright and sunny morning
Bowed our heads, tatus and I
Thanked the Lord who dwells on high

*pronounced TAH-toosh - affectionate name for "father"
