Re: Sholem Lid

[Susan Lerner <meydele...>]

I am interested in finding out about the song Sholem Lid. The lyrics which 
I  am familiar with are:

"Lomir ale freylekh zayn, lomir ale zingen (repeat)
Zingen far sholem, zingen far broyt,
Boyen a morgn on has un on noyt."

I find it in old shule song books and song books from the Yiddish labor 
movements in the US.  I haven't had a chance to check songbooks from 
Europe, yet. Interestingly, it isn't in the Mlotek songbooks.

I would like know where list members first learned or heard the song. I 
would also appreciate any information about the origins or derivations of 
the song.

Please feel free to respond to me directly by email.

A sheynem dank.
Shira Lerner
