A folk song from Finland. Translation of lyrics are below.

In my version I sing and play mandolins, banjo and guitar.
I produced this at my home with Band in a Box and Reaper.

Translation (EB 2025):

Hackberry is on the edge of the stream (Finnish folk song)

:,:Hackberry is on the edge of the stream,
at whose foot I cried.:,:
:,:To foreign lands my sweetheart went
and left me here alone.:,:

:,:That I have said,
that I will never love a richman.:,:
:,:The richmen are not lovable,
and I have no money to buy love.:,:
