about

For my friend Hosam "Sam" who helped the four of us get back to Israel safely from Egypt.

lyrics

We leave at dusk on a crowded bus
Arrive at dawn with a smoky yawn
Oh the sun has yet to meet the sky
One cigarette could get me by.

We cross the border our papers in order
The hungry peasants demand our presence
Oh with a scarred up face from high to low
His car has space, Take us to Cairo

We saw the destitution that sparked a revolution
Amidst the confusion came a smiling solution
Oh a jolly man just five feet tall
He said to us, "I'll help you all"

Thank you Sam, brotherman
You walk just like an Egyptian
Oh Thank you Sam, brotherman
You led us back to the Holy Land

The pyramids and koshari
Sam took us on an Odyssey
Oh atop his roof we smoked some hash
We carried on and laughed and laughed
He bribed the guard a hundred pounds
To looks away as he made rounds
Sam the man can do no wrong
I hope one day, he'll hear my song
You'll hear my song

Oh thank you Sam, brotherman
You walk just like and Egyptian.
Oh thank you Sam, brotherman.
You led us back to the holy land.

Thank you thank you thank you
Sam
