Born About Six Thousand Years Ago

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
