As recorded by The Double Decker String Band. To me, it sounds like it could have been written by Craig Johnson but I never asked any of the band members. I've never heard anyone else play it. If anyone knows anything about the source, I'd sure be interested.

EVOLUTION GIRL
Songwriter?

Once I met a fair young lady
And I learned to love her well
She believed there is no saviour
And she said there is no hell.

Cheeks were red. Her eyes did sparkle
And here hair was chestnut brown
She believed in evolution
And she lived in New York town

And she said we came from monkeys
Many, many years gone by
But I know she'll need a saviour
When her time shall come to die

Won't you change your way of living
Won't you be a better girl
And prepare to meet the saviour
In a bright and better world

You must walk that lonesome valley
You must cross that troubled tide
Don't you want to meet your mother
Over on the other side

Don't believe in false teachings
For the truth to you I've told
Don't believe in evolution
For the devil will get your soul
