Sh’ma and Finale

LEO
Sh’ma Yisroel, Adonai elohainu,
Adonai echod.
Baruch sheym k’vod malchuso l’olam va-ed.

LUCILLE
Leo, oh Leo
I know He’ll protect you
And don’t be afraid;
I’ll be fine here – you’ll see.

LEO
One dollar and twenty cents. Here you are.

MARY
Thank you, sir.

LUCILLE
Farewell, my Leo –
You’re right here beside me
You’re here by the door
And you’re holding my arm
And you’re stroking my hair
And you’re finally…

MARY
Mr. Frank?

LEO
What is it?

LUCILLE
…free.

MARY
Happy Memorial Day.

The parade begins to pass by upstage.

FRANKIE
I go to fight for these old hills behind me
The Old Red Hills of Home
I go to fight for these hills that remind me
Of a way of life that’s pure,
Of the truth that must endure
In the city of Atlanta
In the Old Red Hills of Home!
ENSEMBLE
God bless the sight of the Old Hills of Georgia
The Old Red Hills of Home
Praise those who’d fight for the Old Hills of Georgia
For those proud and valiant men,
We’ll sing “Dixie” once again
For the men of Marietta
For the fathers of Atlanta
Who gave ev’rything for Georgia
And the Old Red Hills
Of
Home!		 For the brothers of Cobb County
For the patriarchs
