I'm perhaps the Incredible String Band's biggest fan, but I've always thought this song was disastrously bad... anyway, here you go:ADAM AND EVE
once before the world began
God was sitting in the sky
he began to get some mud together
o I wonder why
first he made a man
then he made a woman
mr. Adam and miss Eve
they began to be quite good friends
as I can well believe
CHORUS:
o remember that morning
remember that sign
take a warning
when you see the sign
Eve was sitting in the garden
when in came a serpent
miss Eve take this apple
give it to your man
give it to your man
i don't want it
o Adam give it a try
o give it a try
friends if you're travelling
never go taking an apple from a snake
if you do i'll tell you true
you make a big mistake
