A JEWISH MAN Lyrics

Let's have one last drink together before the morrow

Comes and they take me away

One last moment to show homage to a simpler time

When I had a warm bed to lay

Sweet wine so kosher so truly divine

And just enough for you and I one last time

Drink and ignore how late it is this hour

Drink for the men who never left the shower

The Jewish boys separated from their mothers

The Jewish girls forced to take evil men as lovers

I am a Jewish man who knows his time of freedom

May be up

I've travelled from basement to basement unnoticed

But how much further can I push my luck

Every few days I move on trusting my life to a stranger

In a new house

A new day to avoid grave danger

I never see another Jew one that's escaped like me

Better I not

For I doubt I can take more stories filled with such

Agony

At night I hear the men shouting I hear the dogs

barking loud

The Nazis certainly know how to draw a large crowd

I hear their black boots their cheap laughs

Yes they have so much fun

But you'll never see the families they've ruined

The heirlooms they've stolen

The atrocities they've done

Under the floorboards inside a wall

Tight places you stand and in others you crawl

But this my good sir is the nicest basement of them

All

One last drink before I carry on far from here and

Alone

Maybe I'll find a safe place a Jewish man can call

Home
