"The Kretchma" was written (both words and music, I believe) by Gene
Raskin, who also wrote the words to "Those Were the Days," which he set
to a 1920s Russian melody. "Kretchma" was recorded by Raskin and also
by Theodore Bikel. I may have the words from the Bikel recording at
home and if so will post them if no-one else does it first.
