Ma ffidr was born a Hebrew,
Ma ffidr was born a Hebrew,
It is five thousand years
since ma ffidr's folk all fled
In search of milk and honey,
and by Moses they were led.
Ma ffidr was born a Hebrew,
My father was born a Hebrew,
Now Jesus was a preacher,
he was heard by quite a few,
But when he was gone around the place
they said he's just a Jew.
My father was born a Hebrew,
my father was born a Jew,
My father was born a Hebrew,
A lad he needs his lassie,
But they didnae understand
till they sent for Sigmund Freud
My father was born a Hebrew,
My father was born a Hebrew,
The workers worked in dungeons,
But then along comes Charlie,
and he raised his capital
My father was born a Hebrew,
My father was born a Hebrew,
The atom was a tiny thing
Along comes A .B. Einstein
and splits the thing in two.
My father was born a Hebrew,
my father was born a Jew,
My father was born a Hebrew,
There's good and bad in Scotia,
there's good in Timbuktu,
There's good and bad in every lad,
so dinnae rend in the Jew.
My father was born a Hebrew,
my father was born a Jew.
My father was born a Hebrew,
