Sa-Maria
Parody of "My Maria" by B.W. Stevenson
(1 Kings 16:24; John 4:1-42)
Sa-maria*
Was the home once of a long-lost race
Omri bought it from Shemer
To be a town to take Jerus'lem's place
A-ssyria
Had long before dispersed the tribes
And the only people left were half-breed Israelites
Sa-marieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-a
(Oh, Samaria, God loves you so - Oh, Sa-maria)
Sa-marieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
(Oh, Samaria, God loves you so)
Samaria, God loves you
Sa-maria
There were some Jews who called them swine
All their thoughts about them seemed bad - in Jesus' time
Yet this lady
From Samaria heard Him speak
He set her soul free by the gift of His prophecy
She said, we know Christ will come guide the way
He said, you're so right, lady, take me today
Sa-marieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-a
(Oh, Samaria, God loves you so - Oh, Sa-maria)
Sa-marieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
(Oh, Samaria, God loves you so)
Samaria, God loves you
*NOTE: When the word "Samaria" appears as "Sa-Maria" in this song,
sing it as "Sah Maria," so it rhymes with "My Maria." When it appears
as Samaria, pronounce it the correct way.
