My Wife Sara

My Wife Sara (Oh Suzanna by Steven Foster)

My Name is Avraham I am a Jew you see

I went to Eretz Yisrael ‘cause that’s what Hashem told me,

But then there was a famine in the land so I did leave

I went down to Egypt and the King I did deceive.

 

Chorus: My wife Sara‘s my sister you see,

I didn’t want them to take her and then they would kill me.

My wife Sara‘s my sister you see,

I didn’t want them to take her and then they would kill me.

 

Now the King had a visitor in a dream the other night
Hashem came to see him and said something is not right,

This Sara is the wife of Avraham a special guy

So give her back right away or surely you will cry.  Chorus…

The King said Avraham why’d you play a trick on me?

I am giving you back Sarah here she is you see,

I will also give you riches then you must be on your way

Go back to Eretz Yisrael ‘cause there is where you’ll stay.  Chorus…
