Tum Balalaika  - Traditional Yiddish folk song     Rick in Macon

Am                         E7 
Shteyt a bocher, shteyt un tracht,
E7                        Am
tracht un tracht a gantze nacht.  
Am          F     Dm         Am
Vemen  tsu  nemen un nit far shemen,  
Dm          E7               Am
Vemen  tsu  nemen un nit far shemen

Refrain:
Am                       E7 
Tumbala, tumbala, tumbalalaika,
E7                       Am 
Tumbala, tumbala, tumbalalaika
Am     F      Dm         Am
tumbalalaika, shpiel balalaika
Dm     E7                   Am
tumbalalaika - freylach zol zayn.  

Am                            E7 
Meydl, meydl, ch'vel bay dir  fregen,
E7                        Am 
Vos ken vaksn, vaksn  on  regn
Am      F      Dm     Am
Vos ken brenen un nit oyfhern?
Dm      E7                  Am 
Vos ken benken, veynen  on  treren? 

Am                            E7
Narisher bocher, vos darfstu  fregn?
E7                           Am 
A shteyn ken vaksn, vaksn on regn.
Am          F      Dm         Am 
Libeh  ken  brenen un nit oyfhern.
Dm           E7                 Am 
A harts kon  benkn, veynen  on  treren.
