Can anyone post the lyrics of an Israeli song called “Piyus” by Theodore Bikel?

It comes from his second Israeli LP from the early 1960s, called “Theodore Bikel - A Harvest of Israeli Folk Songs.” I have searched the Internet for it without success, although the audio of the song can be found on YouTube.

Ideally I would like the lyrics in both Hebrew and transliteration, but either would be wonderful.

Thanks in advance!

Bikel's recording on YouTube.
The song is nowhere to be found whether you put the title and/or 1st line into Google in either Latin or Hebrew characters.
