Greatest Story Ever Told

Moses come ridin up on a quasar

His spurs were jingling, the door was ajar

His buckle was silver, his manner was bold

And I asked him to come in out of the cold.

His brain was boiling, his reason was spent

His motto is nothing is borrowed, nothing is lent

He ask me for mercy, I gave him a gun.

He said these things just got to be done.

Abraham and isaac sitting on a fence

Youd get right to work if you had any sense

You know the one thing we need is a left-hand monkey wrench.

Gideon come up with his eyes on the floor

Said you aint got a hinge, you cant close the door.

Moses stood up above his six foot and ten

Said you cant close the door when the walls caved in.

Ask him for water, he poured me some wine

We finished the bottle and broke into mine.

You get what you come for, ya ready to go

Well, its one in ten thousand that come for the show.

Abraham and isaac diggin on a well

Mama came quick with the water witch spell

Well cool clear water well you cant ever tell.

Abraham and isaac sitting on a fence

Youd get right to work if you had any sense

You know the one thing we need is a left-hand monkey wrench.
