Polka and Cossacks

Music: Russian Folksong
English lyrics: M Mallows

Cossacks ride bravely
Horses hooves step so lightly
Dust rising up to form a mighty cloud
Don't they dance so well and look so proud

Dance Russian maiden
Life's a backward taylor? laden
Dance till the sun comes up to kiss the day
Leave your fears behind don't be afraid

Dance Russian maiden
Life's an act where taylor? laden
There is adventure and romance awaiting
If you'll dance to welcome in the day

Polka and Cossacks
Round and round and then some high kicks
That's what romantic Russia means to me
Open up your eyes and you can see

Cossacks ride bravely
Horses hooves step so lightly
Dust rising up to form a mighty cloud
Don't they dance so well and look so proud

Cossacks and Polka
Left the steppes before we're older
That's what romantic Russia means to me
Open up your eyes and you will see
