Who lay down an' dieth!
Yes David was small, but oh my!

Dat fish's abdomen.
Oh, Jonah, he lived in de whale.
Li'l Moses was found in a stream,
Li'l Moses was found in a stream,
He floated on water
Till Ole Pharaoh's daughter
She fished him, she says, from that stream.
To get into Hebben don' snap for a sebben!
Live clean! Don' have no fault.
Oh, I take dat gospel
Whenever it's poss'ble,
But wid a little grain of salt.
Methus'lah lived nine hundred years,
Methus'lah lived nine hundred years,
But who calls dat livin'
When no gal'll give in
To no man what's nine hundred years?
