Please can anyone help with puzzling Slavic words

Mr. Stapleton,

>      'Oj nechody Hr-[long y]-cu'


Oj, ne xody, Hrycju...  (according to International Academic standard
of transliteration)
Oi, ne khody, Hrytsiu  (according to Library of Congress standard of
transliteration)

is NOT a Russian folksong, but a Ukrainian one.

Hryc' (Hryts') is the diminutive form of the name Hryhorij.

If you need more information, I can write offline.
