The Fiddlin' John Carson version is on YouTube, surface rough, some words questionable. Here's what I hear [or can't, in brackets]: IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN FOR A HUNDRED YEARS TO COME Fiddlin' John Carson. from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQ9Quyuu-HI Oh, Adam was the first man, he led a lonely life, He broke him up a bed slat, [used it for?] his wife, CHO Well, that won't happen again for a hundred years to come, I don't reckon it'll happen again for a hundred years to come. Oh, Eve [was fond of?] apple[s], [said?] she had to take a bite. Two angels with a [flamin' ?] sword chased her out of sight, Ol' Jonah was a sailor, so runs the Bible tale, He sailed the South Atlantic, got quarters in a whale, Oh, Jonah found his quarters, they weren't the very best, Ol' Jonah pressed the button, the whale it did the rest, I had a dream the other night, I dreamt that I was dead, Pulled the Pearly Gates away, an' to Saint Peter said, I just came in from Atlanta, he says, I do declare Walk right in, you're the first man that's ever come from there.
