English Lyrics
WHEN IT'S ROSH HASHONAH TIME IN DIXIE LAND
HEY HEY
SEE THE ZAIDAS SAY THEIR PRAYERS
MAKING EYES AT THE BUBBAS UPSTAIRS
WHEN IT'S ROSH HASHONAH TIME IN DIXIELAND
YOU CAN HAVE YOUR SUCCOS UP IN MAINE
OR YOUR PESACH IN SUNNY SPAIN
BUT I'LL TAKE MINE IN THE LAND OF COTTON
WHERE ERLICHER MENSCHEN ARE NOT FORGOTTEN
LOOK AWAY LOOK AWAY LOOK AWAY DIXIELAND
Translation
I HEARD THIS SONG AT AGES 13 - 14 WHEN I BELONGED TO THE BOYS CONGREGATION AND SISTERHOOD OF EAST NEW YORK BROOKLYN I heard a similar song from my grandfather in South Africa: When it's pesachtime in Dixieland Gee let me take you by the hand Ther'll be tsimmes and shmaltz lokshen and zaltz kugel and farfel and matzoh as well There will be a jubilee 'cause we'll all be on a spree Ther'll be bobba and zaide sitting at the seder davening in ragtime with a ba-ba-badede-ba there will be a big brass band when it's pesachtime in dixie pesachtime in dixie pesachtime in dixieland Does anyone have any more information
