Possibly this is the song on Ruth Rubin's "Yiddish Love Songs" album
with the title "Shvern Shver Ikh Dir".  It begins: "Oy, lomir beyde a
liebe shpiln".  It's a sad song in which a seamstress solemnly vows
"bei sher un eisen" (by her scissors and iron) to remain faithful to
her lover, who is about to enter the army for 3 or 4 years.
