Song Of Solomon Lyrics - The Statler Brothers

Solomon was the son of the Gentile adulteress 

Bathsheba and David, Israel's greatest king 

As king, he built the temple that God would not let his father build 

And in his reign he asked God for two things, wisdom and knowledge 

This is the song of Solomon 

The Lord appeared to Solomon 

And asked him in his dream 

Just what would you want 

If I would grant you anything 

King Solomon said to the Lord 

On riches I won't dwell 

Just grant to me the wisdom Lord 

To lead Your people well 

When he woke the Lord had blessed 

The throne on which he sat 

And nobody ever caught him 

Sleepin' after that 

People heard about him 

And came from far and wide 

He'd lay his words of wisdom on 

And open up their eyes 

And didn't Solomon have it all together? 

Didn't Solomon lead his people well? 

Didn't Solomon have all together? 

Don't his words ring clearly as a bell? 

Two women came to Solomon 

Both had given birth 

I'm troubled though dear kindly king 

Please help me said the first 

One night while I lay sleeping 

This woman's baby died 

She laid its body on my bosom 

Trading it for mine 

The other woman said to him 

That it was not true 

And Solomon said bring the child 

I'll tell you what we'll do 

We'll divide him with a sword 

And half to each disperse 

The real mother cried, oh, no 

Just give the child to her 

And didn't Solomon have it all together? 

Didn't Solomon lead his people well? 

Didn't Solomon have all together? 

Don't his words ring clearly as a bell? 

Didn't Solomon have it all together?
