Schmasen wet men dich (Shmayzn vet men mikh)

Vos tate mame hobn lib intro

Vos tate mame hobn lib chorus

Glasgow vaudeville performer Ike Freedman ended every show with this song. If you can improve my transcription please let me know.
Strolling along with life's weary way
Over this wide world I roam
Never a welcome wheree'er I may stray
And there's no land I can call my own
Gentiles, they say that I'm only a Jew
and sneer when they see me pass by
But I've got a heart and a soul just like you
So tell me the reason why

Why do they say that I'm only a Jew and despise me because of my breed?
Gentile or Jew, they're all just the same
Though they may have a different creed
I've got a dad with a heart purest gold
And a mother with love so divine
So why do they say that I'm only a Jew
When I'm one of God's own mankind
