Hello, I'm Morris Peckman and this is a Yiddish [E] song, Der Rebbe Elimelech,
which is a Yiddish version of the English song, Old King Cole was a Merry Old Soul.
When the Rebbe Elimelech is happy, he takes off his tefillin, which [F#] he uses when he prays,
he puts on his glasses and he calls for his fiddlers too, who fiddle away for him.
And when the [G] Rebbe Elimelech is more happy, he makes the after Sabbath prayer, the Havdolah
prayer [D#] with Reb Naftolah and then he calls for his two cymbal players and they play the cymbals for
him.
And [N] when the Rebbe Elimelech reaches the very height of merriment, he takes off his coat,
he puts on his hat and he calls for his drummers, who drum away.
Thank you.
