Subject: Lyr Add: STODOLA PUMPA
Here's one set of lyrics. Doesn't include the images mentioned from memory, but the song may have widely varying verses being as wide-spread as it is..

A.

1.
Far in the hills I hear the nightingale
Singing a song that brings home back to me.
Three years ago at home I left my love.
Still she is waiting, waiting there for me. Hey!

CHORUS
Stodola, stodola, stodola pumpa.
Stodola, pumpa, stodola pumpa.
Stodola, stodola, stodola pumpa,
Stodola pumpa, pum, pum, pum.

Three years to wait is much too long for us.
My love and I, we now could married be.
Yes, she and I, we now would have a son,
Strong and so handsome, handsome just like me!
Hey! (Chorus)

Son, when you're grown, you must not stay at
home.
Into the army you will come with me.
Here in the army you will learn to drill.
When you are good, then you can march with me!
Hey! (Chorus)
(After last verse repeat chorus very softly.)
