Adam and Eve Had the Blues

[Verse]
When Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden
They didn't know until the good Lord was done
Eve looked around and soon she found
Just what it was all about
Eve called her husband and he got close to her side
"There's a tree with fruit and it will make us wise"
Eve said, "let's eat some fruit, the good Lord is gone"
Adam said, "yes it won't take us long"

[Chorus]
When Adam and Eve ate the fruit from the good tree
Of which the good Lord forbid them not
They committed sin then trouble began
We are having some trouble yet
The Lord said to Adam also said to Eve
"You two have taken fruit from the forbidden tree"
Eve said, "Good Lord don't blame poor me
Because every women's wild about the good old fruit"
When Eve ate the fruit from the tree she was refused
Adam and Eve had the blues

[Cornet solo: Louis Armstrong]

[Chorus]
The Lord said to Adam also said to Eve
"You two have sinned that sin with the forbidden tree"
Adam said to Eve, "I know you are wise"
He said, "Yes, I like that fruit, I'll use it till I die"
When Eve ate the fruit from the tree she was refused
Adam and Eve had the blues, Lord
Adam and Eve had the blues
