One Little Goat, from the Passover Hagaddah

This song is an allegory for the history of the Jewish people. It shows how, in the historical chain of events, God's justice will be manifest as he protects his little goat.

One little goat, one little goat that my father bought for two coins

Along came the Holy One blessed be He and killed the angel of death that...
