lyrics

I wanted to leave that continent, Europe, and I wanted to get to Israel.
The Exodus considered the biggest ALIYA BET, 4,530 people on one boat, which normally took less than 200 people. Instead of rooms, you had shelves that were running from one end of the boat to the other end of the boat. You could push yourself in, but you couldn’t sit up. It was the middle of the summer you know, there was no air conditioner there, you can really get boiled. They didn’t want the British to find out how many people there are on the boat, so they didn’t allow the people to get up on to the deck.
From the 3rd day on the commander of the boat said “Lets open it up, the British know anyway”, and then the people kept streaming up to the deck. They enjoined being in the clean air. We were sort of joking around about what all this leads to, we’re enjoying the blue sea and the flying fish, and with the help providence, of God, next day we’ll make it to Israel.
