Greatest Story Ever Told
Grateful Dead
[Intro] С [Verse 1] Moses come ridin’ up on a quasar. His spurs was a-jingling the door was ajar. His buckle was silver his manner was bold. I asked him to come on in out of the cold. [Refrain] His brain was boiling his reason was spent. Nothing is borrowed nothing is lent. I asked him for mercy he gave me a gun. Now and again these things just got to be done. [Bridge] 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-handed monkey wrench. [Verse 2] Gideon come in with his eyes on the floor Says "You ain’t got a hinge you can’t close the door." Moses stood up a full six foot and ten Says "You can’t close the door when the walls caved in." [Refrain] I ask him for water he poured me some wine We finished the bottle then broke into mine. [Verse 3] You get what you come for you’re ready to go And it’s one in ten thousand done come for the show. [Bridge] Abraham and Isaac digging on a well Mama come quick with the water witch spell Cool clear water well you cain’t ever tell. [Outro] 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-handed monkey wrench.
