Yiddishe Mamma - Chasing Prophecy
Eighth Day
So holy, so pure.
Lucky is the mom that had you
Lucky is the dad that raised you
Lucky is the school that schooled you
So holy, so pure.
Evil knocked and the lights went out
The whole world cried when they heard you shout
Like never before.
All the angels and the dreaming men
Rushed to the scene just to hold your hand
Saying what's going on
Hey what's going on.
(Chorus:)
Yiddishe mamma don't you cry
Yiddishe mamma in the sky
Yiddishe mamma a lullaby
Yiddishe mamma of Mumbai
Yiddishe mamma we'll live for you
Yiddishe mamma we'll do what you do
Yiddishe mamma it's coming true
Yiddishe mamma we'll see it through.
So holy so pure.
Lucky is the world that knew you
Lucky are the songs that sang you
Lucky are the Souls that greet you
So holy so pure.
Midnight came and our hearts fell out
The world cried when they heard you shout
But you were never alone
G-d was watching and said right then
You'll be back soon
Yeah back again
Like never before.
(Chorus:)

I was listening to the song and in the chorus it goes
Yiddishe mamma in the sky
Yiddishe mamma don't you cry
and in the lyrics over here it has vice versa
The lyric book that came with the CD, is as posted.
I listened to the song again, the first time they sing the chorus, they indeed sing it the posted way, the other 2 times they sing it, the order is changed. Thanks
BTW, this is a tribute Rivky Holtzberg HY"D who was killed in the terrorist attack on the Chabad House in Mumbai.
Note the line: "Yiddishe mamma of Mumbai".
