Ilsa Koch (Bonus Track)-The Klezmatics

I’m here in Buchenwald
I’m here in Buchenwald
My number’s on my skin
My number’s on my skin

Old Ilsa Koch is here
Old Ilsa Koch is here

The prisoners walk the grounds
The prisoners walk the grounds
The hounds have killed a girl
The hounds have killed a girl
The guards have shot a man
The guards have shot a man
Some more have starved to death
Some more have starved to death

Here comes the prisoner’s car
Here comes the prisoner’s car
They dump them in the pen
They dump them in the pen

They load them down the schute
They load them down the schute
The trooper cracks their skulls
The trooper cracks their skulls

He steals their teeth of gold
He steals their teeth of gold
He shoves them on the belt
He shoves them on the belt

He swings that furnace door
He swings that furnace door
He slides their corpses in
He slides their corpses in

I see the chimney smoke
I smell the chimney smoke
I see their ashes hauled
I see their bones in piles

I’m choking on the smoke
The stink is killing me
I see the chimney smoke
I smell the chimney smoke

I see their ashes burned
I see their bones and hands
I'm choking on the smoke
The stink is killing me

Old Ilsy Koch was jailed
Old Ilsy Koch was jailed
Old Ilsy Koch went free
Old Ilsy Koch went free
Old Ilsy Koch went free
Old Ilsy Koch went free
Old Ilsy Koch went free
Old Ilsy Koch went free

I’ve got to hush my song
Here comes the super man
I’ll see you later on
I’ve got to duck and run
