Just a few more verses to my Daddy's song
Goes plumb up till now but that's too long

Along came Eve and they had a mighty battle
She climbed up a tree and knocked down an apple,
She knocked down two and they both ate one
And that's how the trouble in the world begun

Adam was the first man, Miss Eve was his spouse;
They lived in the garden in a pretty little house.
Everything was cozy 'till the first son came;
They moved into the suburbs and they started raising Cain.

Cain he raised potatoes and he peddled 'em in town
Abel called him hayseed every time he came around
Cain he laid a stick o' wood on brother Abel's head
And when he took the stick away, he found poor Able dead.

METHUSELAH

Methuselah was crabby 'cause he couldn't take a joke
He had all the makings of an old and seedy bloke
His whiskers got so long that he couldn't see ahead
If he'd tucked in all the covers he could have used them for his bed!

Methuselah got famous, for he refused to die
"When ya gonna croak?" they asked, he answered, "Bye and bye!"
And when they pressed him for the date, Methuzy whispered "Hush!"
Then laughing thru his whiskers, he hollered "What's the rush?"

NOAH

The Lord said that man's ways were getting mighty dark,
Noah was a carpenter, went walking in the dark,
Stumbled on a lumber pile and built himself an ark,
Called in the animals, two by two,
The hip-hip-o-potamus and Kick-kangaroo.

It rained for forty days and it rained for forty nights
The water washed the land completely out of sight
But when Noah was a-wondering as to what he'd better do
The ark hit Mount Ararat and stuck as tight as glue.

There's a lot more verses to this little song,
Tells about Jonah,Joseph,Solomon and lots more
Moses,the Pharoah,Hitler and all about the war
There are verses that go plumb up till today
But so as not to bore you that's all I'll say
