The Girl Scouts have this in their Sangam GIT songbook, titled "Toviska."

Toviska
(Moravian folk song)

Toviska, Toviska
Castles in Toviska
Were there no lassies
I'd ne'er be a soldier.

Hoo-ya, hoo-ya-ya,
Hoo-ya, hoo-ya-ya,
Hoo-ya, hoo-ya-ya,
Ya-ya-ya

Toviska, Toviska
I will sing Toviska
Sweetheart at home
I will never forget you.

Pronounced "Toh-vish-ka." Clap hands on knees on "Hoo." Clap hands together on 'ya'

So, where's Toviska? Anybody have more information on this song? It's also in the Happy Meeting (Czech) songbook from World Around Songs, same lyrics and tune.
