Hey, I Went on a Binge

Hey, I Went on a Binge

A Gypsy camp song

Oh, went, went, went on a binge, went on a binge
a young lad, just a young fellow, young fellow,
in a little red shirt,
such a handsome one.

Ache, ache, ache away, my head,
just let the rest of me stay whole.
Parting doesn't scare us,
if we're fated to meet again.

Oh, went, went, went on a binge, went on a binge
a young lad, just a young fellow, young fellow,
in a little red shirt,
such a handsome one.

Oh, comrades, hold me back,
I'll catch fire with joy like a flame,
not like an aspen in a damp forest,
but like straw caught in the wind.

According to one version, the song was written by Pyotr Konstantinovich Leshchenko (June 2, 1898 — July 16, 1954), a Russian popular singer and performer of folk songs.
