[Barton1320 <Barton1320...>]

Actually, when I replied to the list the first time, I had attached them.  So 
this time I'm going to copy and paste them into this email.  It is so nice to 
be able to contribute for a change.  Enjoy the songs.

Purim Folk

(To the tune of Old MacDonald)
Chords:  E, A, B7
 
Chorus:            It’s the Purim holiday.
Fun for you and me.
We dress in costumes bright and gay
Now who shall I be?
 
Queen Esther fair
She took the dare
Saved the Jewish people there.
Oh,…(chorus)
 
Haman mean,
With envy green
He was wicked, caused a scene
Oh, …(chorus)
 
Mordechai
Was a good guy
By accident became a spy.
Oh, …(chorus)
 
I could be king
With bony knees
His name sounded like a sneeze,
Oh, …(chorus)
 
Vashti was
The king’s first wife
She got sent away for life.
Oh, …(chorus)
The Courtship

(To the tune of Daisy, Daisy)
Chords: C, F, G
 
Esther, Esther
Give me your answer, do
I’m half crazy all for the love ofyou
You’re gentle and kind and witty
I also think you’re pretty
Oh, marry me, the Queen you’ll be
As the wife of the Persian king.
 
Achashveros.
Here is my answer true
I’m not crazy all for the love ofyou
But even though it is scary
My uncle says to marry
So if you’re kind
I will not mind
Being wife to the Persian king.

Vashti’s Song

(To the tune of Sippin’ Cider)
Chords are A, E, E7
 
I’m Vashti fair
I once was Queen
Until the King
He turned quite mean.
 
            I’mVashti fair, I once was Queen
            Untilthe King he turned quite mean.
 
The King he had
A royal ball
He asked me to
Dance for them all.
 
I told the King,
“No way, Jose –
I’m just not in
The mood today.”
 
He banished me
Out here I’m stuck
I wish his next
Wife better luck.
 
The moral is
A simple thing
Don’t ever say
No to a king.
 
Brave Queen Esther

(To the tune of Short’nin’ Bread)
Chords are C, G7
 
Chorus:              Esther, Esther,brave Queen Esther
                        Esther, Esther, save the Jews.
                        Esther, Esther, brave Queen Esther
                        Esther, Esther, save the Jews.
 
Haman was a bad guy, did you know?
He lived in Shushan long ago.
Got the King to change his views
Had him agree to kill the Jews.
 
Mordechai, her uncle, cam andsaid,
“If you can’t help, then we allare dead.
So, dear niece, it’s up to you.”
What was Esther gonna do?
 
Esther held a banquet for the King
She asked Haman to the fling.
The Kind said, “How can I thankyou?”
Esther said, “Spare me, for I am aJew.”
 
The King reversed his high decree
Said, “Persians, let the Jews allbe.”
So on Purim, celebrate –
Instead of Jews, Haman met his fate.
