The Little Hebrew Girl |
| The little Hebrew girl |
| Heard her mother’s dying wish |
| «Don't become Christian |
| Just be Jewish» |
| «Honor our tradition |
| Of denying God above |
| Heed the pigeon of religion |
| And ignore the dove of love» |
| The little Hebrew girl |
| Was a maid for Calvinists |
| She read in the gospel |
| Jesus exists |
| Yet she still persisted |
| In her tribal sacrilege |
| She would nix the crucifixion |
| Always dredging up her pledge |
| «Mama, I love you» |
| The little Hebrew girl |
| Having lived her fleeting time |
| Rested near the churchyard |
| Where the bells chime |
| Promising we’ll climb that |
| Final day to peter’s gate |
| Maybe she can hear them ringing |
| Maybe death is not too late |
| «Mama, I love you» |
