Revised version based on much rehearing:

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, and 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] applejack, she had to take a bite.
Two angels whipped the pair before they chased 'em out of sight,

Ol' Jonas was a sailor, so runs the Bible tale,
He sailed the South Atlantic, his quarters in a whale,

Oh, Jonas [didn't like?] his quarters, they weren't the very best,
Ol' Jonas 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.
