A beggar's street song with the nerve to blame the emperor by name. Fengyang, in Anhui, was the home town of Zhu Yuanzhang, founder of the Ming dynasty - and the song says that since the place produced Emperor Zhu, nine years in ten have brought famine, so she straps a flower-drum on her back and roams the four corners singing for coins. People have been singing this complaint since his own dynasty. He never managed to stop them.
For the learner the treasure is the parallel lines: 大户人家卖牛羊， 小户人家卖儿郎 - the big households sold their oxen and sheep, the small households sold their sons. Identical frames with two words swapped, which is how Chinese builds rhetoric and how you should drill it. The same trick returns gently in 左手锣，右手鼓 - gong in the left hand, drum in the right.
And then the refrain: 咚得隆咚锵 (dōng de lōng dōng qiāng) is not vocabulary at all - it is the drum and gong written down. Percussion carries no tones, so for once you can sing a Mandarin refrain with nothing to get wrong.
