Lyrics Manfred Mann's Earth Band

Manfred Mann's Earth Band

Buddah

Saw Buddah walking down the street

I said, "Hey man, I never thought we'd meet"

Looked at me and he did a dance

He said, "Hey son, you gotta take your chance"

Saw Jesus in '65

Said, "Hey son, you're still alive"

He was standing in a riot zone

Said, "Hey man, why don't you go home?"

He said, "I never was, never will be

What you gotta do is carry on and forget about me"

Saw Moses in a Cadillac

Said, "Hey man, why did you come back?"

He looked at me and he did a dance

Said, "Hey man, you gotta take your chance"

Saw the saviour standing on the stage

He looked at me, I was in a rage

Looked my way and he said to me

"You gotta carry on and forget about me

'Cause I never was, never will be

What you gotta do is carry on and forget about me"
