Greatest Story Ever Told (Live in Veneta, Oregon, August 27, 1972)

Moses come ridin' up on a quasar
His spurs were jingling, the door was ajar
His buckle was silver, his manner was bold
Asked him to come in out of the cold

His brain was boiling, his reason was spent
His motto is nothing is borrowed, nothing is lent
He asked me for mercy, I gave him a gun
Now and I didn't need these things, it's just got to be done

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]

Gideon come up with his eyes on the floor
Said, "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"

Ask him for water, he poured me some wine
We finished the bottle and broke into mine
You get what you come for, you're ready to go
Well, it's one in ten thousand that come for the show

Abraham and Isaac diggin' on a well
Mama came quick with the water witch spell
Well cool clear water well you can't ever tell

[Instrumental break]

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

[Outro dialogue]
Hey, we're gonna take another break, let the sun go down a little more and come back and play some more
