paroles de chanson Great Historical Bum - Odetta
I
was
born
ten
thousand
years
ago
There
ain't
nothin'
in
this
world
that
I
don't
know
I
saw
Peter,
Paul
and
Moses
playing
ring-around-the-roses
And
I'll
whup
the
guy
what
says
it
isn't
so
Well
I'm
just
a
lonesome
traveler,
a
great
historical
bum
Highly
educated,
through
history
I
have
come
I
built
the
Rock
of
Ages,
it
was
in
the
year
of
One
And
that's
about
the
biggest
thing
that
man
has
ever
done
I
saw
Adam
and
Eve
a-driven
from
the
door
I'm
the
guy
that
pick
the
fig
leaves
that
they
wore
And
from
behind
the
bushes
peeping,
saw
the
apple
they
were
eating
And
I'll
swear
that
I'm
the
one
that
ate
the
core
Now,
I
built
the
Garden
of
Eden,
it
was
in
the
year
of
Two
Joined
the
Apple
Pickers
Union,
and
I
always
paid
my
due
I'm
the
man
that
signed
the
contract
to
raise
the
Rising
Sun
And
that's
about
the
biggest
thing
that
man
has
ever
done
I
taught
Samson
how
to
use
his
mighty
hand
I
showed
Columbus
to
this
happy
land
And
for
Pharaoh's
little
kiddies
I
built
all
the
pyramiddies
And
to
the
Sahara
carried
all
the
sand
Jared
Leto
Compares
Writing
A
Song
To
Having
A
Kid
Now,
I
was
straw
boss
on
the
pyramids,
and
the
Tower
of
Babel
too
I
opened
up
the
ocean,
let
the
migrant
children
through
I
fought
a
million
battles
and
I
never
lost
a
one
And
that's
about
the
biggest
thing
that
man
has
ever
done
I
taught
Solomon
his
little
A-B-C's
I'm
the
first
one
that
ate
Limburger
cheese
And
while
floating
down
the
bay
with
Methuselah
one
day
I
saw
his
whiskers
floating
in
the
breeze
Now,
I
fought
the
Revolution
that
set
this
country
free
It
was
me
and
a
couple
of
Indians
that
dumped
the
Boston
tea
I
won
the
battle
of
Valley
Forge
and
the
battle
of
Bully
Run
And
that's
about
the
biggest
thing
that
men
has
ever
done
Well,
Queen
Elizabeth,
she
fell
in
love
with
me
We
were
married
in
Milwaukee
secretly
But
I
got
tired
and
shook
her
and
ran
off
with
General
Hooker
To
go
shooting
skeeters
down
in
Tennessee
I
was
born
about
ten
thousand
years
ago
There
ain't
nothin'
in
this
world
that
I
don't
know
I
saw
Peter,
Paul
and
Moses
playing
ring-around-the-roses
And
I'll
whup
the
guy
what
says
it
isn't
so
Well
I'm
just
a
lonesome
traveler,
a
great
historical
bum
Highly
educated,
through
history
I
have
come
I
built
the
Rock
of
Ages,
it
was
in
the
year
of
One
And
that's
about
the
biggest
thing
Man
has
ever
done
