10000 Years Ago Lyrics & Chords By The Vipers Skiffle Group

I was born ten thousand years ago
There ain't nothing 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
I'm highly educated, from 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 Satan when he looked the Garden o'er
Saw Adam and Eve a-driven from the door
And from behind the bushes peeping, saw the apple they was eating
And I swear that I'm the one what et the core

I built the Garden of Eden, it was in the year of Two
Joined the apple pickers' union, 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
Showed Columbus this happy land
And for pharaoh's little kiddies I built all the pyramiddies
And to the Sahara, carried all the sand

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 ABC's
I'm the first one et Limburger cheese
And while floating down the bay with Methuselah one day
I saw his whiskers blowing in the breeze

Well I was in the revolution that set this country free
It was me and a couple of injuns 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 man has ever done

Queen Elizabeth, she fell in love with me
We were married in Milwaukee secretly
But I got tired and shook her, and went off with General Hooker
A-fighting skeeters down in Tennessee
