I Was Born About 10,000 Years Ago/The Biggest Thing (Live) - Odetta (欧蒂塔)/Larry Mohr[00:00:00]

Written by：Woody Guthr[00:00:00]

I was born about ten thousand years ago[00:00:00]

There ain't nothing in this world that I don't know[00:00:04]

Saw Peter Paul and Moses playing ring around the roses[00:00:08]

And I'll whup the guy what says it isn't so[00:00:11]

Well I'm just a lonesome traveler a great historical bum[00:00:15]

Highly educated through history I have come[00:00:19]

I built the Rock of Ages it was in the year of One[00:00:22]

And that's about the biggest thing that man has ever done[00:00:26]

I saw any look garden door[00:00:29]

I saw Adam and Eve a-driven from the door[00:00:33]

And from behind the bushes peeping saw the apple they were eating[00:00:37]

And I'll swear that I'm the one that ate the core[00:00:40]

Garden of Eden[00:00:44]

Now I built the Garden of Eden it was in the year of Two[00:00:45]

Joined the Apple Pickers Union and I always paid my due[00:00:48]

I'm the man that signed the contract to raise the Rising Sun[00:00:52]

And that's about the biggest thing that man has ever done[00:00:56]

I taught Samson how to use his mighty hand[00:00:59]

I showed Columbus to this happy land[00:01:04]

And for Pharaoh's little kiddies I built all the pyramiddies[00:01:07]

And to the Sahara carried all the sand[00:01:10]

Pyramids I was straw boss on the pyramids and the Tower of Babel too[00:01:14]

I opened up the ocean let the migrant children through[00:01:19]

I fought a million battles and I never lost a one[00:01:22]

And that's about the biggest thing that man has ever done[00:01:26]

I taught Solomon his little A-B-C's[00:01:30]

I'm the first one that ate Limburger cheese[00:01:33]

And while floating down the bay with Methuselah one day[00:01:37]

I saw his whiskers floating in the breeze[00:01:41]

Well I was in the Revolution that set this country free[00:01:44]

It was me and a couple of Indians that dumped the Boston tea[00:01:48]

I won the battle of Valley Forge and the battle of Bully Run[00:01:51]

And that's about the biggest thing that men has ever done[00:01:55]

Well Queen Elizabeth she fell in love with me[00:01:59]

We were married in Milwaukee secretly[00:02:03]

But I got tired and shook her and ran off with General Hooker[00:02:06]

To go shooting skeeters down in Tennessee[00:02:09]

I was born about ten thousand years ago[00:02:13]

There ain't nothin' in this world that I don't know[00:02:17]

I saw Peter Paul and Moses playing ring-around-the-roses[00:02:21]

And I'll whup the guy what says it isn't so[00:02:24]

Well I'm just a lonesome traveler a great historical bum[00:02:28]

Highly educated through history I have come[00:02:32]

I built the Rock of Ages it was in the year of One[00:02:35]

And that's about the biggest thing Man has ever done[00:02:39]
