Born About Six Thousand Years Ago Lyrics - Doc Watson - Doc Watson

I was born about six thousand years ago 

They ain't nothin' in this world that I don't know 

I saw Old King Pharaoh's daughter find Little Moses on the water 

And I can whip the man that says it isn't so 

I saw Noah when he built that famous ark 

I slipped into it one night when it got dark 

I saw Jonah swallowed by the whale, and I pulled the lion's tail 

I can whip the man that says it isn't so 

I'm an educated man, to get more sense within my head I plan

Modern Love: The Best Top 40 Love Songs For Valentine's Day 

Well, I've been on earth so long, and I used to sing a little song 

While all of them old timers took their stand 

Queen Elizabeth fell dead in love with me, (hee, hee, she did) 

We was married in Milwaukee secretly 

Then I took her out and shook her, and I went with General Hooker 

To fight mosquitoes down in Tennessee. 

I taught Solomon his little A B C's (smart feller) 

And through all his books, I tutored him with ease 

Then I sailed out on the bay with Methuselah one day 

And I played with his flowing whiskers in the breeze 

I'm an educated man, to get more sense within my head I plan 

Well, I've been on earth so long, and I used to sing a little song 

While all of them old timers took their stand 

I seen old Satan when he searched that Garden o'er, (old booger) 

Saw Adam and Eve driven from the door 

When the applese they were eating, from the bushes I was a-peeping 

I can prove it from the man that ate the core

I saw Cain when he killed Abel with a spade 

And I know the game was poker that they played 

I was hid behind the shrub when he slapped him with that club 

Poor old Abel caught him a-cheatin', and now he's dead 

I'm an educated man, to get more sense within my head I plan 

Well, I've been on earth so long, and I used to sing a little song 

While all of them old timers took their stand
