- Description
- "Let me drink and go, father, and make me a witness myself." The cheerful confusion of this drinking song is typical of the country, and the meaning of the words is obsecure. It is suggested that it refers to death and the fact that did they but know what happened after death they would accompany the dead. "If it was only close by where my father went I would go with him, indeed, I would go with him.". Drinking song with clapping.
