Cool Beans Lyr Req: Variations of Scotland the Brave (42) RE: Lyr Req: Variations of Scotland the Brave 28 Nov 21


As a child in Hebrew school in 1950s Brooklyn I learned a Chanukah song to the tune of "Scotland the Brave." I didn't know the tune was "Scotland the Brave" at the time.
    I remember only a few fragments of the lyrics:
    Brave Judah Maccabeus
    Won many victories for us.
    The Hebrew forces were helped
    By God above.

    and
   
    Children enjoy their treats
    And to their joys complete:
    Dreidels and latkes
    And tasty things to eat.

    The song may have been written by someone at our synagogue, or it may have been known to a wider audience. At the time there was a minor radio hit called "My Bonnie Lassie" to the tune of "Scotland the Brave."
