Penka Jane ?ulevski 2026
“The original version of this song is entitled “The Warlike Lads of Russia”, and is credited to British Folk artist Nic Jones. He has stated in album notes that he found some of the song’s lyrics in an old English broadside (a publication of Victorian street songs), added fresh lyrics of his own, and wrote the associated tune.”

Oh when Gregory Bovino to Minnesota went with all his troops and all his men their minds were fully bent For to break those northern cities oh they had been employed But the whole town rose against them and their spirits did destroy Chorus: Oh the folks from Minnesota they fight all in one mind Making Bovino to run and leave his troops behind When in two Sister Cities the common man did stand Old Bovino and all his men took anyone they’d get But in two Sister Cities the common man’d retreat they flooded all their sidewalks and they froze hard all their streets Well it’s all across Twin Cities the common man held fast against Bovino and all his men They marched and drove them back The action being so hot from right and left and front and rear “Well damn you all” said Bovino “I’ll stay no longer here” Well away then went poor Bovino as fast as he could run Over snowy fields and ditches he left cars and plans and guns The carnage of his actions, the rage of neighbors too He left it all behind him for it’s all he knows to do Said “It’s full 3,000 men of mine, their dignity you’ve taken Likewise you’ve robbed them of their sleep and nobody will feed them But never more to Minneapolis I dare advance For if I do I may be sure they’ll teach me how to dance” So it’s to conclude and so to finish up our song Old Bovino can run from state to state but not for long For it’s each and every tyrant, and every cruel small man must turn and face the music or else see his soul be Damned
