Once I met a fair young lady And I learned to love her well She believes there is no Saviour And she says there is no Hell
Cheeks were red; her eyes do sparkle And her hair was chestnut brown She believes in evolution And she lives in New York Town
And she says 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 teaching For the truth to you I've told Don't believe in evolution For the devil will get your soul
