[00:00:00] Written by：Woody Guthr

[00:00:00] I was born about ten thousand years ago

[00:00:04] There ain't nothing in this world that I don't know

[00:00:07] Saw Peter Paul and Moses playing ring around the roses

[00:00:11] And I'll whup the guy what says it isn't so

[00:00:15] Well I'm just a lonesome traveler a great historical bum

[00:00:18] Highly educated through history I have come

[00:00:22] I built the Rock of Ages it was in the year of One

[00:00:25] And that's about the biggest thing that man has ever done

[00:00:29] I saw any look garden door

[00:00:33] I saw Adam and Eve a-driven from the door

[00:00:36] And from behind the bushes peeping saw the apple they were eating

[00:00:40] And I'll swear that I'm the one that ate the core

[00:00:43] Garden of Eden

[00:00:44] Now I built the Garden of Eden it was in the year of Two

[00:00:48] Joined the Apple Pickers Union and I always paid my due

[00:00:52] I'm the man that signed the contract to raise the Rising Sun

[00:00:55] And that's about the biggest thing that man has ever done

[00:00:59] I taught Samson how to use his mighty hand

[00:01:03] I showed Columbus to this happy land

[00:01:06] And for Pharaoh's little kiddies I built all the pyramiddies

[00:01:10] And to the Sahara carried all the sand

[00:01:14] Pyramids I was straw boss on the pyramids and the Tower of Babel too

[00:01:18] I opened up the ocean let the migrant children through

[00:01:22] I fought a million battles and I never lost a one

[00:01:26] And that's about the biggest thing that man has ever done

[00:01:29] I taught Solomon his little A-B-C's

[00:01:33] I'm the first one that ate Limburger cheese

[00:01:37] And while floating down the bay with Methuselah one day

[00:01:40] I saw his whiskers floating in the breeze

[00:01:44] Well I was in the Revolution that set this country free

[00:01:48] It was me and a couple of Indians that dumped the Boston tea

[00:01:51] I won the battle of Valley Forge and the battle of Bully Run

[00:01:55] And that's about the biggest thing that men has ever done

[00:01:59] Well Queen Elizabeth she fell in love with me

[00:02:02] We were married in Milwaukee secretly

[00:02:06] But I got tired and shook her and ran off with General Hooker

[00:02:09] To go shooting skeeters down in Tennessee

[00:02:13] I was born about ten thousand years ago

[00:02:17] There ain't nothin' in this world that I don't know

[00:02:20] I saw Peter Paul and Moses playing ring-around-the-roses

[00:02:24] And I'll whup the guy what says it isn't so

[00:02:28] Well I'm just a lonesome traveler a great historical bum

[00:02:31] Highly educated through history I have come

[00:02:35] I built the Rock of Ages it was in the year of One

[00:02:38] And that's about the biggest thing Man has ever done
