Traditional (Russian)
Written in A minor, range F4 to F5
Barge haulers on the Volga, harnessed to a heavy boat, pull together on every “Ey, ukhnem!” (“Heave-ho!”) and drag it upstream a step at a time. The song was first printed in Mily Balakirev’s collection of Russian folk songs (1866), with his own piano accompaniment.
