Thank you, Joe Offer!! You found it! I had never heard of Netanya Davrath, butbased on your tip I searched her name on YouTube and sure enough, there she is, spelling her first name with an “i” (Natania) and singing THE VERY SONG!!! Only she calls it “Kosichka (The Braid)” with mo mention of men or caravans. I ran “Kosichka” through Google translate in Cyrillic and came up with the more colloquial translation “Pigtail.” So we’ve got three men in a caravan... plus a pigtail. You have no idea how happy this makes me. Now I’ve just got to find a Russian-speaker who would be willing to transcribe the song from the YouTube!
