Once i was a stone many years ago |
| [00:42.99] |
Into a pool was thrown many years ago. |
| [00:47.34] |
Time passed by, the pool ran dry, excavated was i. |
| [00:50.76] |
And tempered and beat in a fiery heat, |
| [00:52.95] |
By the hand of a man, who's name was dan |
| [00:57.90] |
Dan the blacksmith. |
| [01:07.65] |
Once i was a sword, many years ago. |
| [01:12.09] |
And my blade was broad, many years ago. |
| [01:16.14] |
Worn with pride, into battle i'd ride at a warrior's side. |
| [01:19.50] |
And i cut and i killed and was lost in a field, |
| [01:21.81] |
And i soon did rust, corrode to dust, |
| [01:26.73] |
Oh my. |
| [01:36.33] |
Once i was a daisy, many years ago. |
| [01:40.50] |
In pastures green and lazy, many years ago. |
| [01:44.55] |
But i was et by a goat who fell in a moat and forgetting to float |
| [01:48.09] |
He sunk like a lead and stayed until dead, |
| [01:50.43] |
But was relieved to find just how kind it all was. |
| [02:23.76] |
Once i was a grub, many years ago. |
| [02:28.14] |
I lived in muck and mud, many years ago. |
| [02:32.01] |
But on the very first noon i became a cocoon that resembled a prune. |
| [02:35.67] |
When the good lord was done in the warmth of the sun. |
| [02:37.95] |
I shed my skins, and dried my wings, and i flew away. |
| [02:47.61] |
Once i was a bullfrog, had to struggle for survival. |
| [02:52.38] |
And once i was a carp and lived in waters ornamental. |
| [02:56.94] |
And once i was a myna bird, quoting verses from the bible, |
| [03:01.38] |
Said "pretty boy, pretty boy, st. luke ". |
| [03:42.45] |
Once i was a mule, a many years ago. |
| [03:46.71] |
But my master treat me cruel, a many years ago. |
| [03:50.73] |
By and by i was sick, couldn't move to his kick, so he took out a stick |
| [03:54.42] |
And hit it right 'cross my back to an almighty crack, |
| [03:56.94] |
And to his dismay, i passed away, into the blue. |
| [04:27.99] |
I was born a human baby, many years ago. |
| [04:33.03] |
I was born unto a lady, many years ago. |
| [04:36.45] |
All our hopes they were piled on the back of a child that turned out to be wild. |
| [04:40.08] |
Sent the devil a prayer and caused the parson to swear. |
| [04:42.51] |
So i took my leave to lie and thieve my way to jail. |
| [04:51.96] |
I've been tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor. |
| [04:54.60] |
I've known good times and disaster. |
| [04:56.94] |
But now i've found a teacher, and the teacher has a master, |
| [05:01.77] |
The master is perfection, so he'll help us get there faster. |
| [05:05.85] |
I don't need no proof, because that's the truth, and i'll drink to that. |
