Indeed so.
"The song about Hryc' is a typical folk ballad about a young girl who
found out that her
boyfriend was two-timing her and so she 'did him in'." From Assya
Humesky, Modern
Ukrainian, Edmonton-Toronto: Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies
1980, p. 274-275.
(This book has words, translation, and music; if the Stapletons can't
find it in the U.K.,
I'd be willing to send a Xerox copy.)
