MASTER SMITH
Russian Folk songs with English Translations

Who's there, who's there, Master Smith,
Who's there, who's there, Master Smith,
In the forge a-forg-ing shoes, hor-ses' shoes;
In the forge a-forg-ing shoes, hor-ses' shoes?*

Come out, come out, walk with me;
That I would if I could choose, that I'd choose.

I'll come, I'll come, pretty one,
To the woodland solitude, solitude

We'll find, we'll find autumn leaves,
Twine a dainty maiden-snood, maiden-snood.

Or sew, or sew, stitch and sew
Sew a pretty woodland dress, woodland dress

I'm sure, I'm sure, very sure
It would become your loveliness, loveliness

You'd wear, you'd wear it, my Dear,
Wear it for you Sunday best, Sunday best

All week, all week, workadays,
Workadays you'd keep it pressed, keep it pressed
