DIDN'T YOU SEE MY LITTLE MUSICIAN


Didn't you see my little musician?
"At the fair".

Didn't you see my little musician?
"At the fair" is his name.

He already was a good boy
But he wouldn't obey.

I tried to make him obey
But he didn't want to.

I sent him to the fields with the calves
He turned out worse than the bull.

Then he chased women
But I couldn't help it.

He took her by her leg, threw her on the bed,
To do what? You do know it!

After than he knocked her up,
It wasn't worthwhile.

After that, he had a boy.
Do you know how she called him?

Didn't you see my little musician?
"At the fair" is his name.
You can hear the recording here
