(Hongseong, Chungnam Province/ Choi, Gwang-sun(67yrs)/ 1993)

◆ Sung while blocking up the banks around the rice paddy when they have burst open because of flooding.

(Content of Song)
“The bank has crushed because of natural calamity, so it's no use wailing
Don't cry
Don't worry
We will block the bank within today
Bring out some ricewine
Along with the ricewine barrel there comes some delicious dried fish
Hey farmers, gather your strength to block this and that bank
This blasted rain
Let us quickly block the bank and go home”
