Thanks, Amos.H'a'md'u'lla will do just fine. The tune is very elastic, especially on that line.

Sidi Barani

Tune: Ilkla Moor

Where hast thou been since I saw thee
In Sidi Barani H'a'md'u'lla?
Where hast thou been since I saw thee?
Why did ewe turn away and flee?
In Sidi Barani
In Sidi Barani
In Sidi Barani

I've been a-grazing all day long
In Sidi Barani H'a'md'u'lla
I've been a-grazing all day long
Bleating an Arabic folk song
In Sidi Barani
Arabic Doh-Re-Mi
In Sidi Barani

Mokhtar Adam Fadl was asleep
In Sidi Barani H'a'md'u'lla.
Mokhtar Adam Fadl was asleep
Not looking after his poor sheep
In Sidi Barani
The shepherd could not see
In Sidi Barani

Then I espied the shepherd's gun
In Sidi Barani H'a'md'u'lla
Then I espied the shepherd's gun
And thought that I'd have myself some fun
In Sidi Barani
The idea tickled me
In Sidi Barani

I kicked the trigger with my hoof
In Sidi Barani H'a'md'u'lla
I kicked the trigger with my hoof
The print's still there if you want proof
In Sidi Barani
You wonder why I flee
In Sidi Barani

Poor Mokhtar Fadl's laid to rest
In Sidi Barani H'a'md'u'lla
Poor Mokhtar Fadl's laid to rest
One single bullet through his chest
In Sidi Barani
They're singing mournfully
In Sidi Barani

Now you're in trouble with the cops
In Sidi Barani H'a'md'u'lla
Now you're in trouble with the cops
They'll turn you into tender chops
In Sidi Barani
They'll roast you tenderly
In Sidi Barani

Then we shall all have eaten thee
In Sidi Barani H'a'md'u'lla
Then we shall all have eaten thee
All but the shepherd, don't you see
In Sidi Barani
That sheep shall not run free
In sidi Barani
