Text: Grateful Dead. Dead Set (Live). Greatest Story Ever Told.

Moses come riding up on a quasar
His spurs was a-jingling, the door was ajar
His buckle was silver, his manner was bold
And I asked him to come in out of the cold

His brain was boiling, his reason was spent
Nothing is borrowed, nothing is lent
I asked him for mercy, he gave me a gun
Now and again these things just got to be done

Abraham and Isaac sitting on a fence
Get right to work if you have any sense
You know the one thing we need
Is a left-hand monkey wrench

Gideon come up with his eyes on the floor
Says, "You ain't got a hinge, you can't close the door"
Moses stood up a full six foot ten
Said, "You can't close the door when the wall's caved in"

I asked him for water, he poured me some wine
We finished the bottle then broke into mine
You get what you come for, you?re ready to go
And it's one in ten thousand done come for the show

Abraham and Isaac digging on a well
Mama came quick with the water witch spell
Cool clear water where you can't never tell
