 C                F C             F C
Moses come ridinʼ    up on a quasar.
 C                       F     C         F C
His spurs was a-jingling, the door was ajar.
 C                     F    C            F C
His buckle was silver, his manner was bold.
 C                      F   C            F C
I asked him to come on in  out of the cold.

     Am        Em           C          F C
His brain was boiling, his reason was spent.
 Am         Em        C          F C
Nothing is borrowed, nothing is lent.
 C                    F    C         F C
I asked him for mercy, he gave me a gun.
 C                          F    C          F C
Now and again these things just got to be done.

Abraham and Isaac sitting on a fence
       Am                       D
Youʼd get right to work if you had any sense
              C                    F C                                              F  C
You know the one thing we need is a left-handed monkey wrench.

Gideon come in with his eyes on the floor
Says, "You ainʼt got a hinge, you canʼt close the door."
Moses stood up a full six foot and ten
Says, "You canʼt close the door when the walls caved in."

I ask him for water, he poured me some wine
We finished the bottle then broke into mine.
You get what you come for, youʼre ready to go
And itʼs one in ten thousand done come for the show.

Abraham and Isaac digging on a well
Mama come quick with the water witch spell
Cool clear water well you cainʼt ever tell.

Moses come ridinʼ 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.
