I don't know any Yiddish and I can't make out the words. There is a lady who lives near me who sings this all day long and I want to be able to sing it with her.

Oy vey z'mir. A something something you-ah.
With a translation of red cherries you take and green ones you let go.

I don't have time for the youtube, but from your description, I think maybe, is it "black Karshelech?"
Shvartse karshelekh rayst men,
Un grine lozt men shteyn;
Sheyne meydelekh nemt men
Un miese lozt men geyn.
Oy, vey iz tsu mir,
Un vey tsu mayne por yor,
A libe hob ikh gefirt
Felike dray fertl yor.
Vos toyg mir di polke mazurke,
Az tantsn tants ikh zi nit,
Vos toyg mir dos meydele fun vurke
Az libn libt zi mikh nit.
Vos toyg mir der nayer valets
Az tantsn tants ikh im nisht,
Vos toyg mir dos meydele fun shilets,
Az libn libt zi mikh nisht.

You will never believe what happened.
I had trouble with some of the words so I printed out the lyrics and I gave the woman the paper. She sang some of the song and read the rest of the lyrics on the paper and laughed at the last part. Her face lit up. Then she sang part of it and read the lyrics over again and laughed at the last part. Her face lit up. And again. And again. And each time it's like it's the first time.
And now she is so happy. And she is spending the entire afternoon reading the lyrics over and over again as though it's her first time seeing the lyrics to her favorite song.
