They come to me and they start to cry
Say you gotta do something about that guy
They say take this sword, I say thanks a lot
But I do alright with this sling I got
Someone gimme a stone, gimme a stone, gimme a stone
Someone gimme a stone, gimme a stone
Stone that I can hold
Stone that I can throw
Someone gimme a stone, someone gimme a stone
Never had to fight such a real big man
Just gimme a stone and I'll do what I can
See how he laughs when I put out his eye
And there he'll fall and there he'll die
Someone gimme a stone ...
Absalom, Absalom
Would I die for you my son
I would have it all undone
The way it all came down
When I look at you my son
I see myself when I was young
Saddest thing I ever done
Was put you in the ground
Someone gimme a stone ...
