Rachel Cohen 1920

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 29 Jul 2005

I'm just the happiest boy today
My heart is so light and gay
Last night at Rachel Cohen's home
I asked her to be mine own
She answered with a sigh
"I'll tell you by and by"

Someday I'll marry Rachel Cohen
Somaday I'm going to call her my own
And when you hear those wedding bells chime
You'll know that darling Rachel is mine
We'll spend our honeymoon
over in Palestine
And when you hear the choir sing
"Jerusalem, Jerusalem"
Then you'll know that Rachel is mine.

Someday I'll marry Rachel Cohen
Somaday I'm going to call her my own
And when you hear those wedding bells chime
You'll know that darling Rachel is mine
We'll spend our honeymoon
over in Palestine
And when you hear the choir sing
"Jerusalem, Jerusalem"
Then you'll know that Rachel is mine.

Under the Coopah we'll be wed
That's where the Marriage sermon's read
Under my heel they'll place a glass
I break it from the shool we pass
And then I'll place the ring
You hear the Choir sing

Someday I'll marry Rachel Cohen
Somaday I'm going to call her my own
And when you hear those wedding bells chime
You'll know that darling Rachel is mine
We'll spend our honeymoon
over in Palestine
And when you hear the choir sing
"Jerusalem, Jerusalem"
Then you'll know that Rachel is mine.

Someday I'll marry Rachel Cohen
Somaday I'm going to call her my own
And when you hear those wedding bells chime
You'll know that darling Rachel is mine
We'll spend our honeymoon
over in Palestine
And when you hear the choir sing
"Jerusalem, Jerusalem"
Then you'll know that Rachel is mine.

Many thanks to David Samuel Barr for managing to see
the words on the score for me, I offer bilateral cataracts as a lame
excuse! :-)
