Re: [tied] dog's grave song

Well once shouldn't bother people too much. Here is a
Ukrainian version:

U popa bula sobachka vin jiji lyubyv
The priest had a doggy (and) he loved it
Vona zjila kusnyk [variants: myaska, flachka etc.] vin
jiji ubyv
It ate a piece of meat (and) he killed it
Jak ubyv to pokhovav
Having killed it he buried it
I na hrobi napysav
And on the grave he wrote
Shcho
That
U popa bula sobachka vin jiji lyubyv
The priest had a doggy (and) he loved it
etc etc ad infinitum
