The Grateful Dead - Greatest Story Ever Told lyrics
[The Grateful Dead - Greatest Story Ever Told lyrics]
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
He said: If nothing is borrowed
Then nothing was lent
I asked him for mercy, he gave me a gun
Said: Now 'n' again these things
Just got to be done
Abraham and Isaac sitting on a fence
You'd get right to work if you had any sense
Y'know the one thing we need
Is a left hand monkey wrench
Gideon come in with his eyes on the floor
Says: Y'ain't got a hinge
You can't close the door
Moses stood up a full six-foot-ten
Says: You can't close the door
When the wall's caved in
I asked him for water, he poured me some wine
We finished the bottle, then broke into mine
You get what you come for, you're ready to go
It's one in ten thousand just
Come for the show
Abraham and Isaac digging on a well
Mama come quick with the water witch spell
Cool clear water where you can't never tell
Abraham and Isaac sitting on a fence
You'd get right to work if you had any sense
You know the one thing we need
Is a left hand monkey wrench
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
He said: If nothing is borrowed
Then nothing was lent
I asked him for mercy, he gave me a gun
Said: Now 'n' again these things
Just got to be done
Abraham and Isaac sitting on a fence
You'd get right to work if you had any sense
Y'know the one thing we need
Is a left hand monkey wrench
Gideon come in with his eyes on the floor
Says: Y'ain't got a hinge
You can't close the door
Moses stood up a full six-foot-ten
Says: You can't close the door
When the wall's caved in
I asked him for water, he poured me some wine
We finished the bottle, then broke into mine
You get what you come for, you're ready to go
It's one in ten thousand just
Come for the show
Abraham and Isaac digging on a well
Mama come quick with the water witch spell
Cool clear water where you can't never tell
Abraham and Isaac sitting on a fence
You'd get right to work if you had any sense
You know the one thing we need
Is a left hand monkey wrench
