I'm posting a song a day from the Rise Up Singing songbook, which you may or may not know. It's a pretty invaluable resource for song leaders, and useful for anyone who likes to sing in groups. The book doesn't include the melodies to the songs, just the lyrics and some chords, so I’m trying hard to find the tunes I don’t know, learn them, and post them on YouTube for anyone to learn. That’s where these videos are hosted; the blog is just pretty packaging.

My Dreidel (Dreydl, Dreydel)
A.K.A I have a little Dreidel / Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel
Music by S.E. Goldfarb; orig. words: Sam Grossman; addl v. Sam Hinton
Rise Up Singing chapter: Play, p.174
D - - A / - - - D ://
A song for the second day of Chanukah, although let it be noted that it's dark outside my window, so it may be the third day already, as Jewish holidays are reckoned.
Additional verse:
The letters also tell us just who will lose or win
I have a pile of walnuts, I am ready, let's begin!
O, dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, I wonder who will win
Dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, I am ready let's begin!
