The ones we know are: Adam was the first man, he led a lonely life He took a slat and dressed it up and had it for a wife But Eve was fond of apples and she had to have a bite So the angel with the fiery sword he chased them out of sight. Adam was the first man, Eve was his spouse They quit eating fruit one day and went to keeping house Adam's life was happy and peaceful in the main Till Eve she had a little son and took to raising Cain Daniel was the fella with the cast-iron hide The lions tried to eat him but they couldn't get inside When old King Darius came and looked into the ring "I fooled you once" said Daniel and the drinks were on the king. Shadrak, Meshak, and Abednego In the fiery furnace, a-standin' in a row Belshazzar thought that he had put them chillun on the blink Till one by one they all came out and hollered for a drink. Esau was a farmer, a wild and woolly rake His father left him half a farm and half to brother Jake When Esau read the title to the land, it wasn't clear So he sold it to his brother for a sandwich and a beer. We have a few other verses (about Noah, Jonah, and David) but any info you can give us on this one would be much appreciated. Marian |
