Odetta - The Great Historical Bum
I'm just a lonesome traveler
A great historical bum
Highly educated through history I have come
I built the Rock of Ages
It was in the year of One
That's about the biggest thing
That man has ever done
I built the Garden of Eden
It was in the year of Two
Joined the Apple Pickers Union
And I always paid my due
I'm the man that signed the contract
To raise the Rising Sun
That's about the biggest thing
That man has ever done
I was straw boss on the pyramids
And the Tower of Babel too
I opened up the ocean
Let the migrant children through
I fought a million battles and I never lost a one
That's about the biggest thing
That man has ever done
I fought the Revolution that set this country free
It was me and a couple of Indians
That dumped the Boston tea
I won the battle of Valley Forge
And the battle of Bully Run
And that's about the biggest thing
That men has ever done
I'm just a lonesome traveler
A great historical bum
Highly educated through history I have come
I built the Rock of Ages it was in the year of One
That's about the biggest thing Man has ever done
I said
That's about the biggest thing that can't ever done
