A POLISH SONG: BEYOND THE MOUNTAINS, BEYOND THE WOODS.

BEYOND THE HILLS, BEYOND THE WOODS,
BEYOND THE VALLEYS,
TWO MOUNTAINEERS WERE FIGHTING
WITH THEIR ALPENSTACKS

CHORUS

HEY THERE MOUNTAIN BOYS.
DON'T FIGHT.
THE GIRL HAS TWO BRAIDS
WHICH SHE'LL DIVIDE BETWEEN YOU TWO.

Submitter comment: THIS IS A POPULAR MOUNTAINEER SONG. THESE ARE THE WORDS I REMEMBER
FROM MY CHILDHOOD, AS I LEARNED FROM MY FAMILY
