    Default "Volga Boatmen" Happy Birthday song

    I learned the first verse of this old drinkers' birthday song as a young kid and recently heard that there are other verses.

    The tune is the Russian/Ukrainian Volga Boatmen's song and the first verse goes like this:

    Happy birthday,
    O happy birthday!
    Fear and sorrow fill the air,
    People dying everywhere,
    Happy birthday,
    O happy birthday!

    Thanks for your help on this!
