Moses in the Bulrushes

Well, the lightning struck the surface of that swamp

And that monkey got his hands on a bottle of wine

And he tied that bulldog up in my backyard

And that monkey get a hangover every time

But you know there's a white cloud crouching over the valley

Man, the night time was never as dark as you thought it would be

You know, Elvis was born down in Tupelo Mississippi

But there's a fossil up in Memphis, Tennessee

Well don't you know

I'm backsliding in my Sunday best

Without a mark over the door

That angel passed

Well, the baby's curled up next to the old man's shotgun

And that little girl, she's gonna grow up just like me

And I guarantee that nobody's gonna mess around with my baby

And grandpa's out there in the living room watching TV

But you know there's a black crow circling over the North Pole

They got the satellite hooked up but the signal

Well it just won't take

And the graveyard ain't got room for my skeleton, not tonight

There's storm clouds rolling in but they just won't break

Well don't you know

I'm backsliding in my Sunday clothes

Without a prayer to fill them wings

That angel rose

And it's just like Moses in the bulrushes

That Memphis train is burning coal

And we're gonna have to watch that little girl grow old

Yes, we're gonna have to watch that little girl grow older everyday

Yodel-ay-hee-ooo
