Greatest Story Ever Told (Live at Civic Arena, Pittsburgh, PA, April 3, 1989)

[Verse 1]
Moses come riding up on a quasar
His spurs were jingling, the door was ajar
His buckle was silver, his manner was bold
I asked him to come on in out of the cold

[Pre-Chorus]
His brain was boiling, his reason was spent
If nothing is borrowed, nothing is lent
He asked me for mercy, I gave him a gun
Now and again, these things just got to be done

[Chorus]
Abraham and Isaac sitting on a fence
You'd get right to work if you had any sense
You know the one thing we need is a left-hand monkey wrench

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Gideon come in with his eyes on the floor
Said, "You ain’t got a hinge, you can't close thе door"
Now, Moses stood up, a full six-foot-ten
Said, "You can't close thе door when the wall’s caved in"

[Pre-Chorus]
Asked me for water, I poured him some wine
We finished the bottle and broke into mine
You get what you come for, you're ready to go
And it's more than ten thousand that come for the show

[Chorus]
Abraham and Isaac diggin' on a well
Mama come quick with the water witch spell
Cool clear water well you can't ever tell

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
Abraham and Isaac sitting on a fence
You'd get right to work if you have any sense
You know the one thing we need is a left-hand monkey wrench
