Yidish Peysakh songs

[Lori Cahan-Simon <l_cahan...>]

Eli and other khaverim,

Thanks for the help you are giving.  What I am also looking for are *old* 
Yiddish
Holiday songs.  Here are the Yidish Peysakh songs I know.  If anyone can share
with me anything else, please let me know:

Oyfn Nil (Shvimt dos kestl)
Zog, Maran
In dem land fun piramidn
Dayeynu
Eliyohu Hanovi
Tayere Malke
Khad Gadyo (Kh'hob far aykh a maysele)
Un oysgelyzt vert folk Yisroel (Bakhtsi halaylo)
As di yontevkike teg
Di fir kashes (Ma nishtano)


A dank, Eli, for sharing your notation system.  Here is another verse for you.  
It
is a 3rd stanza:

K'netn leym un shlepn tzigl,                    Kneading clay and dragging 
bricks,

Boyen shleser hoikh un raykh;                Building houses high and proud;
Bizn keyver, funem vigl --                     Slaves from the cradle to the
grave--
K'nekht geven mit hint tzuglaykh.           They were treated worse than dogs.

When you say "we" do you mean family or another group?

a dank, alemen,
Lorele
