LYRIC
SEVEN SHABBOS CANDLES- Country Yossi- Ride Again
(Parody Of “Seven Spanish Angels”- Ray Charles & Willie Nelson-
Composed By Troy Seals & Eddie Setser)
She covered up her brown eyes
And whispered quietly
A prayer for all her children
With tears we all could see.
Then she lit the Shabbos candles
There was one for every child
Then Mama softly kissed us
And held us for a while.
CHORUS:
There were seven Shabbos candles
On the table Friday night
She called them Shabbos angels
For they glowed with holy light.
As the night wore on and the fire dimmed
They rose up to the throne
Then Mama’s Shabbos angles
Brought another angel home.
We gathered at the window
As Daddy turned to say
Good Shabbos, zeese kinderlach
Then we watched them drive away.
We could hear the thunder rumble
As we watched the falling rain
Until we heard Havadalah
And then the phone call came.
CHORUS:
There were seven Shabbos candles
On the table Friday night
She called them Shabbos angels
For they glowed with holy light.
As the night wore on and the fire dimmed
They rose up to the throne
Then Mama’s Shabbos angles
Brought another angel home.
When the phone rang, it was Daddy
Mazel Tov, he cried
Mama’s resting comfortably
With her baby at her side.
Yes, we’re gonna have a Shabbos fritz
He told us with delight
‘Cause Mama’s newest angel
Arrived on Friday night.
Now there are eight bright Shabbos candles
On our table Friday night
They’re Mama’s Shabbos angels
That glow with holy light.
As we sing the songs and sip the wine
Our hearts are filled with love
We’re Mama’s Shabbos angels
A gift from up above.
