G5 F5 
She came in smelling of cabbages 
G5 F5 
Pumpkin roots and all winter's ravages 
B5 A5 E5 
She came in around dawn 
G5 
Took her coat off 
D5 C5 B5 
Burdened down by the Russian winter 
A5 E5 
Felt the warmth of the hearth 

G5 F5 
Bathed a while naked in hot water 
G5 F5 
Wash away imminent disaster 
B5 A5 E5 
Thinking through her today 
G5 
And the murder 
D5 C5 B5 
Of the bailiff and the landowner 
A5 
Felt no shame 
E5 
Only gain 

G5 
Cleansed the pike 
F5 
Peeled all the potatoes 
G5 F5 
Beetroots ripe for bellies of gigolos 
B5 A5 E5 G5 
Served it up for her son and her daughter 
D5 C5 B5 
For the last time she imagines 
A5 E5 
Reprobates lie in wait
