  • The Song of the Volga Boatmen is a well-known traditional Russian song collected by Mily balakirev, and published in his book of folk songs. It is a genuine barge-haulers' shanty. Balakirev published it with only one verse (the first). The other two verses were added at a later date. The song, also called The Volga Burlak's Song, was inspired by Repin's famous painting, Burlaks on the Volga, depicting the suffering of the people in the depth of misery in Tsarist Russia.

  • Volga Boat Song Yo heave ho! Yo heave ho! Once more, once more, Yo heave ho! Pull the barge 'gainst the river's tide, CHORUS:Volga River stretching far and wide. Ai da da, ai da, ai da da, ai da, Pull the barge 'gainst the river's tide, Yo heave ho! Yo heave ho!Yo heave ho! Yo heave ho!As the barges float along,To the sun we sing our song... Yo heave ho! Yo heave ho! Volga, Volga our pride, Mighty stream so deep and wide...
