CAIN AND ABEL (AND MABEL)
I sure is going to hell now. Here's my bluegrass tune about Adam and Eve. Needs a bit of banjo. Yee ha!
I am thinking, I am thinking, God is a comedian
What a funny guy, from day one the end is nigh
Then he waved his magic wand, well if not then we’ve been conned
Looking down from his mansion in the sky
God made man as best as he can, not sure if he had a plan
But there was something missing in this frame
In the future saw a crib, so he pulled out Adam’s rib
And the last piece of the puzzle was a dame
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Adam was no longer lonely
As there was a naked woman by his side
He said “I’m really glad to meet ya
Guess you’re why I have this big scar”
He was naked so his joy he could not hide
I am thinking, I am thinking, God is a comedian
What a funny guy, from day one the end is nigh
Then he waved his magic wand, well if not then we’ve all been conned
Looking down from his mansion in the sky
Well the pair were most confused, they did not know what to do
As no rule book came so Adam scratched his head
God said “Adam, you’re a man, and Eve’s a woman so you can
Make babies in my name so go to bed”
So Adam made a bed of leaves and while Eve was on her knees
He screamed out his saviour’s name a thousand times
Then they lied there bathed in sweat, Eve said “I feel like a cigarette”
Adam said “Don’t know what it is but sure sounds fine”
I am thinking, I am thinking, God is a comedian
What a funny guy, from day one the end is nigh
Then he waved his magic wand, well if not then we’ve all been conned
Looking down from his mansion in the sky
Eve was sitting by a tree, when a man ‘bout six foot three
Had horns but not like Adam had previously
He turned into a talking snake “Now Eve I don’t have any cake
But you can eat a juicy apple off this tree”
Well the taste she did not like, maybe the apple was not ripe
God said “Now you’ve gone and done it don’t you see”
This action that you took, well it just goes against my book
So in many years to come there’s World War three
I am thinking, I am thinking, God is a comedian
What a funny guy, from day one the end is nigh
Then he waved his magic wand, well if not then we’ve all been conned
Looking down from his mansion in the sky
So now God had kicked them out, Adam said “What’s this about?
What the hell Eve are we now supposed to do?
There’s a baby on the way, have you got anything to say?”
“Of dearest Adam sorry I ain’t got a clue”
So they then had Cain and Abel, then a third a daughter Mabel
You see there must have been a lady way back then
Unless they had sex with their mom, where the hell did we come from
As two men can’t make a baby say Amen “AMEN”
I am thinking, I am thinking, God is a comedian
What a funny guy, from day one the end is nigh
Then he waved his magic wand, well if not then we’ve been conned
Looking down from his mansion in the sky
I guess this story can’t be fake it’s in the bible no mistake
And it’s the word of God he wouldn’t lie
So the moral to this tale, if you meet a guy with horns and tail
Don’t be tempted by the devil’s apple pie
Don’t be tempted by the devil’s apple pie
