Rachel, Don't You Weep
Ever since I first listened to Bruce Springsteen's Seeger Sessions album I've been in love with the song "Mary, Don't you Weep." Its a fairly well known traditional spiritual which uses lots of great imagry from the Torah. But, as a practicing Jew, I didn't feel comfortable singing a song addressed to "Mary," so I did a bit of a rewrite on the lyrics and came up with a Jewish version of this spiritual. The results can be heard on the Elijah Wilbury page at UkeLand:
