Great old Yiddish song Yussel, Yussel or Joseph, Joseph wriiten in 1923 by Nellie Casman and Samuel Steinberg to which Sammy Cahn and Saul Chaplin added translated lyrics that flowed a little better about 70 years ago. This is the Andrews Sisters swing version. The original was a little slower and very moving. I also ran across a version by a group called the Harmony Sisters, a Finnish group, doing this on youtube entitled Josef, Josef. Oh those Scandanavians.
These guys impress me, everything's spot on.
