Stone Lyrics

Well, once I was a stone, many years ago
Into a pool was thrown, many years ago
Time went by and the pool ran dry
Excavated was I, and tempered and beat in the fiery heat
(sus4)
By the hand of a man,
(sus4)
whose name was Dan,
Dan the blacksmith
Well once I was a sword, many years ago
And my blade was broad, many years ago
Wore it with pride, and into battle I'd ride,
on a warrior side, And cut my tail, their was loss of my tail
(sus4)
and soon did rust ,
(sus4)
corrode to dust,
oh my
Well once I was a daisy, many years ago
In pastures green and lazy, many years ago
But I was eat by a goat who fell in a moat
And forgetting to float he sunk like a lead and stayed until dead
(sus4)
And was relieved to find
(sus4)
just how kind
it all was
Well once I was a grub, many years ago
And I lived among that mud , many years ago
But I'm a reckless mood, and I gave it a Coo
That was it with a prune, and when the good Lord was done, I walked with the sun,
(sus4)
I shed my skins
(sus4)
And tried my wings
and flew away
Well, once I was a bullfrog, had to struggle for survival
And once I was a carp and lived in waters on the meadow
And once I was a mynah bird, quoting verses from the Bible
I said pretty boy,
Pretty boy,
Saint Luke
(Guitar solo)
Well once I was a mule, many years ago
my master treat me cruel, many years ago
By by was sick, so I moved to a kick,
So I took out a stick , laid it back across my back To an almighty crack
(sus4)
to my dismay
(sus4)
I cast away
into the blue
Then I was born a human baby, many years ago
I remember I was born unto a lady, many years ago
All our hopes were piled on the back of a child
Who turned out to be wild, sent the devil a prayer, caused the parson to swear
(sus4)
so I took my leave
(sus4)
To lie and thieve,
on my way to jail
Well, I've been a tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor
Known good times and disaster
But now I have a teacher and my teacher has a master
And the master is perfection, so he'll help us get there faster
(sus4)
Don't need no proof,
(sus4)
'cause that's the truth,
and I'll drink to that!
