1
Well once I was a stone, a many years ago
2
Into a pool was thrown, a many years ago
3
Time passed by, the pool ran dry, excavated was I
4
And tempered and beat in a fiery heat by the hand of a man
5
Who's name was Dan, Dan the blacksmith
6
Well once I was a sword, a many years ago
7
And my blade was broad, a many years ago
8
Worn with pride, into battle I'd ride at a warriors side
9
And I cut and I killed and I was lost in a field
10
And I soon did rust, I corrode to dust, oh my
11
Well once I was a daisy, a many years ago
12
In pastures green and lazy, a many years ago
13
But I was eat by a goat who fell in a moat and forgetting to float
14
He sunk like a lead and stayed until dead but was relieved to find
15
Oh Lord, just how kind it all was
16
Well once I was a grub, a many years ago
17
And I lived in muck and mud, a many years ago
18
But on the very first noon I became a cocoon that resembled a prune
19
When the good Lord was done in the warmth of the sun
20
I shed my skins and I dried my wings and I flew away
21
Well once I was a bullfrog, had to struggle for survival
22
And once I was a carp and lived in waters ornamental
23
And once I was a myna bird, quoting verses from the Bible
24
Said, "Pretty boy, pretty boy, St.Luke"
25
Well once I was a mule, a many years ago
26
But my master he treat me cruel, a many years ago
27
By and by I was sick, couldn't move to his kick, so he took out a stick
28
And hit it right cross my back to an almighty crack
29
And to his dismay, I passed away into the blue
30
Then I was born a human baby, a many years ago
31
Well I remember I was born unto a lady, a many years ago
32
All our hopes they were piled on the back of a child
33
That turned out to be wild, sent the devil a prayer
34
And caused the parson to swear, so I took my leave
35
To lie and thieve my way to jail
36
Well I've been tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor known good times and disaster
37
But now I've found a teacher and the teacher has a master
38
And the master is perfection, so he helps us get there faster
39
Don't need no proof because that's the truth and I'll drink to that
