Born About Six Thousand Years Ago - Doc Watson
I was born about six thousand years ago
They ain't nothin' in this world that I don't know
I saw Old King Pharaoh's daughter
Find Little Moses on the water
And I can whip the man that says it isn't so
I saw Noah when he built that famous ark
I slipped into it one night when it got dark
I saw Jonah swallowed by the whale
And I pulled the lion's tail
I can whip the man that says it isn't so
I'm an educated man
To get more sense within my head I plan
Well I've been on earth so long
And I used to sing a little song
While all of them old timers took their stand
Queen Elizabeth fell dead in love with me
(hee hee she did)
We was married in Milwaukee secretly
Then I took her out and shook her
And I went with General Hooker
To fight mosquitoes down in Tennessee
I taught Solomon his little A B C's (smart feller)
And through all his books
I tutored him with ease
Then I sailed out on the bay
With Methuselah one day
And I played with his
Flowing whiskers in the breeze
I'm an educated man
To get more sense within my head I plan
Well I've been on earth so long
And I used to sing a little song
While all of them old timers took their stand
I seen old Satan when he searched that Garden o'er
(old booger)
Saw Adam and Eve driven from the door
When the applese they were eating
From the bushes I was a-peeping
I can prove it from the man that ate the core
I saw Cain when he killed Abel with a spade
And I know the game was poker that they played
I was hid behind the shrub when
He slapped him with that club
Poor old Abel caught him a-cheatin'
And now he's dead
I'm an educated man to get more
Sense within my head I plan
Well I've been on earth so long
And I used to sing a little song
While all of them old timers took their stand
