GUEST,Gerry	Origins: Pick a Bale of Cotton (58* d)	RE: Origins: Pick a Bale of Cotton	08 Mar 20
Way upthread, 19 Jun 07 - 08:33 AM a guest wrote, -There is a Hebrew song sung by Jewish people on the Sabbath -that is the exact tune of "Pick a Bale of Cotton". There may be such a song; I've never heard one, but there are a great many Hebrew songs sung on the Sabbath, and undoubtedly a great many that I have never heard. But I think the guest may have been referring to a song for the Jewish holiday of Purim (which, coincidentally, begins here in a few hours from now), which consists of a repetition, to the tune of Pick a Bale, of a Talmudic phrase to the effect that the month of Adar brings joy.
