Greatest Story Ever Told Lyrics by 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
    His motto is nothing is borrowed, nothing is lent
    He ask me for mercy, i gave him a gun.
    He said 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
    You know the one thing we need is a left-hand monkey wrench.

    Gideon come up with his eyes on the floor
    Said "you ain't got a hinge, you can't close the door."
    Moses stood up above his six foot and ten
    Said "you can't close the door when the wall's caved in."

    Ask him for water, he poured me some wine
    We finished the bottle and broke into mine.
    You get what you come for, ya ready to go
    Well, it's one in ten thousand that come for the show.

    Abraham and isaac diggin' on a well
    Mama came quick with the water witch spell
    Well cool clear water well you can't ever 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.
