Oj tam u polju dub horyt

Notes :
The story of this song
Once there was a man working in the fields who was caught in a wild prairie fire and burned to death. As he was being buried his wife fell on his body weeping and her clothing caught on fire from a spark on his cloths, and she also burnt to death.
