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
