God looked around,

he didn't see nothin'

Said, well, shucks, let there be light

So up come the sun, bright as all get out

Then he split it up into day and night

God looked around,

wasn't much to look at

So He fabricated the heavens and earth

So now their solid ground,

divvied up by waters

He said, well, there it is for what it's worth

He gave wings to birds

so they'd fly in the air

And legs for critters walkin'

on the ground

Allocated fish to the water

and beasts to the fields

And creepin' things to crawl around

God looked around, he didn't see no one

He reached down

and he picked up some dust

Then he spit on it

and he kneaded it like bread dough

And a man rose up full grown as such

God looked at the man,

he saw that he was lonely, said go to sleep

I guess I ain't done.

He pried out one of his ribs

and he slapped some hide around it.

There was two now,

well once there's one.

He gave it some curves

and lips red as cherries

and ravishing curly raven hair.

Well, the man, he woke up,

and he looked at the woman

He said, whoa, Lord,

you don't answer my prayers


Now things was righteous

when a snake walked up

Said, hey woman, take a bite of this

You'll be smart as God

and you'll live forever

You'd be foolish to resist

The woman said, uh -uh,

don't eat from that tree

Those was God's very own words

Ah, but the snake -sweep talked to her

And she took a bite

And then she realized

she was naked as a jaybird

The woman went to the man

And he took a taste,

I'm undraped, he proclaimed

Then they heard God a -comin',

so they went and hid

Cause they was naked and ashamed

Well God found them,

said you ain't forbidden fruit

The woman cried,

the snake doomed me, I was tempted

God said, I told you not to,

and since you disobeyed

Your time here in paradise is ended

So God cast him out,

dooming us all to die

That's why it's the way it is

Then God said to the snake,

you done walkin' and talkin'

And that's why to this day

they slither and hiss
