@fingerstyle_guitar: Good! Glad it's getting picked up now. Those are all links related to this track. Before I put this up, it was zero results, but I did find some of Ziserman's work here https://exit.sc/?url=http%3A%2F%2Ffaujsa.fau.edu%2Fjsa%2Fdiscography.php%3Fjsa_num%3D504414-B

Sweet Dreams (Eurythmics cover, Dirty $outh Mix) - David McWilliams on Washing Machine

The song " Ziserman's Skotshne 1 " Was collected from V. Ziserman in 1932, in Vinnicja , Ukraine.
I have the music for it and to the best of my knowledge it has never been recorded. So here, I just used the theme from the song. 
Playing Klezmer on guitar is a challenge because of the ornaments usedin this genre are suited better for clarinet and violin. Also the rhythm often is written with an accordion in mind.
Anyway, I decided to approach it from more of a gypsy style which is maybe appropriate. 
So, welcome this song back to the world!

Ziserman's Skotshne ( Forgotten Klezmer song )

A pirate has been captured.  He dreams........

Pirate Dreams.


They have me now, racked beneath the crucifix,
hauling kelp upon my back.

They have me now, chained to my confession,
i don't know how I'll ever get back to the sea.

But when at night I dream,  there is no holding me,
my sails are filled with the southern breeze.

Pirate dreams, these pirate dreams,
far away from the orphan land
cutthroats under my command.

Pirate dreams, these pirate dreams
sacks of gold and strings of pearls
sunlit seas and island girls.

When at night i dream, there is no holding me,
i give myself to the raging sea.

They have me now, racked beneath the crucifix
i can feel the lash upon my pirate dreams.

“Thomas is as much to say as abysm or double, which in Greek is said didimus...When he was in Caesarea our Lord appeared to him, and said: The king of India, Gundoferus…seek men that can well the craft of masons, and I shall send thee to him.
…and the king devised to the apostle a marvelous palace, and delivered to him great treasure. And the king went to another province, and the apostle gave all the treasure to poor people…” From the Golden Legend by Jacobus de Voragine (c 1260)

Didymus - Words & Music by Pravinand Maharaj aka Johnny Minstrel

I dreamed about St Thomas
In India he died
They say he was the twin
Of whom I can’t decide
He took the king’s money
And built a temple for his god
Not of bricks and stones
But of kindness, peace and love
There’s a banquet in Takshashila
For the hungry souls to feast
The table’s laid and waiting
To serve the promised meal
And Jesus sent dear Thomas
His image on his face
With a mission just to make
The world a better place

I dreamed of William Seymour
A humble black man
Who dreamed of integration 
Before it was the plan
Not a dime in his pocket
And with only one good eye
His faith was like a rocket
It roared into the sky
And the Holy Ghost came down
On black and white alike
Unheard of in that town
It set Azusa Street alight
And Jesus sent dear William
His image on his face
With a mission just to make
The world a better place

I dreamed the Rose of Sharon
Emmanuel the name
Just like a loving mother
Into the world he came
Born inside a stable
To live under a curse
As homeless as a wanderer
Nailed to die of thirst
With scars he rose in triumph
The wounds for all to see
From every blow that hurt him
That kills humanity
And God sent dear Jesus
His image on his face
With a mission just to make
The world a better place

I dreamed about St Thomas
I dreamed of William Seymour
Sweet Rose of Sharon
Sweet Rose of Sharon
Make the world a better place
The world a better place

A better place
The world a better place
A better place
Spirit Twin
Spirit Twin
Spirit Twin
God in our skin

Songs From A Revolution

Didymus

We can only try and live in the real world and make the best of what we have

If i look back on everything and think to hard
about the things id change and what i learned
and try and be there on the level ...why im i so concerned 
if life is a random series of events
you gotta put feathers in your hat and jump the fence

if you think you know me 
or if you feel its unreal 
do you think that you would show me how you really feel
