Chad Mitchell Trio - The Bragging Song (the Great Historical слова песни
by Woody GuthrieI was born about ten thousand years agoThere ain`t nuthin` in this world that I don`t knowI saw Peter Paul and Moses playin` ring-around-the-rosesAnd I`ll whup the guy what says it isn`t soWell, I`m just a lonesome traveler, a great historical bumHighly educated through history I have comeI built the Rock of Ages, it was in the year oh oneAnd that`s about the biggest thing that Man has ever doneI saw Adam and Eve driven from the doorI`m the guy that picked the figleaves that they woreAnd from behind the bushes peepin` saw the apple they was eatin`And I swear that I`m the one that et the coreNow I built the garden of Eden, it was in the year oh twoJoined the apple-pickers union and I always paid my duesI`m the man that signed the contract to raise the risin` sunAnd that`s about the biggest thing that Man has ever doneI taught Samson how to use his mighty handI showed Columbus to this happy landAnd for Pharaoh`s little kiddies I built all the pyramiddiesAnd to the Sahara carried all the sandNow I was strawboss on the pyramids and the tower of Babel tooI opened up the ocean, let the mighty children throughI fought a million battles and I never lost a oneAnd that`s about the biggest thing that Man has ever doneI taught Solomon his little ABC`sI`m the first one to eat Limburger cheeseAnd while floating down the bay with Methuseleh one dayI saw his whiskers floating in the breezeNow I fought the revolution that set this country freeIt was me and a couple of Indians that dumped the Boston teaI won the battle of Valley Forge and the battle of Bully RunAnd that`s about the biggest thing that Man has ever doneNow Queen Elizabeth she fell in love with meWe were married in Milwaukee secretlyBut I got tired and shook her and ran off with General HookerTo go shootin` skeeters down in Tennessee[Repeat first two verses]
