BUBBA SILBERT’S SONG
                       (1906)

Libau’s quayside slips away,
Soon we’ll ride the Baltic swell;
Steamships whistle, seagulls cry,
As we bid the Czar farewell.

Packed on deck, three hundred Jews
Bound for Hull, we sing as one:
"Brothers, what have you to lose?
Pull the pig down from his throne!"
