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.
