Folks, I want to tell you tonight
about the world's greatest liar.
-
That's right,
the greatest liar there ever was,
will be, has been, can be,
and jelly beans. -
The name of this fella is
Samuel Jacob Jackson
Jeremiah Johnson.
Any name that'd be a fit
in his present situation.
Oh, you mean a situation
that'd fit in his handcuffs and neck iron?
Yes, yes.
Quieten down, please.
Quiet down.
Now, I'm going to refrain from using this man's
name tonight.
You don't know it! To conceal...
To conceal the fact of his true identity,
which is unknown to me.

Now, Samuel was born early
one morning.
I tell you, there are many important folks
there to witness his birth.

misinformation,

and inebriation,

is that that great liar was born
to rich but honest parents,
who both died when he
B

was only 12 years old.

My heart goes out to him.
Gm

It was a blow he suffered again
at their passing in
the street 11 years later.

savage beatings.
At the hands of the very

he was sent for the

sole purpose of burglary.

Samuel Jacob Jehoshaphat

at the Battle of Hastings.

That was back around 1066,
G
in the morning,
D
after which he was discharged
A
C#dim
D
with the high distinction
F#dim
of never having enlis ted.
A
The memories of war scarred
G

Samuel the rest of his life,
D
because he remembered nothing.
Bm
You know, he often raised toast

to his fallen bank balances.
Ebdim

He'd never taken a drink of

the rest of his life.
