I've always been a farmer
At Collective 49
Worked the black soil of Russia
Growing potatoes and some wine
But I was happy driving tractors
For last 20 years
Till the local commissar
Let my wife disappear
I'm a Leningrad cowboy
Raising cattle on the steppes
Won't you pour me another vodka
'Cause I'm drinking to forget
He's a Leningrad cowboy
Raising cattle on the steppes
Won't you pour him another vodka
'Cause he's drinking to forget
All right, let me hear a little bit of guitar
Oh, that's better. A balalaika it is
Not too loud. Not too loud.
That's my song. That's my song.

He's a Leningrad cowboy
Raising cattle on the steppes
Won't you pour him another vodka
'Cause he's drinking to forget
