Townes Van Zandt - Man Gave Names To All The Animals Lyrics
Man gave names to all the animals*In the beginning, in the beginningMan gave names to all the animalsIn the beginning, long time ago.He saw an animal that liked to growlBig furry paws and he liked to howlGreat big furry back and furry hair"Ah, think I'll call it a bear".Man gave names to all the animalsIn the beginning, in the beginningMan gave names to all the animalsIn the beginning, long time ago.He saw an animal up on a hillChewing up so much grass until she was filledHe saw milk coming out but he didn't know how"Ah, think I'll call it a cow".Man gave names to all the animalsIn the beginning, in the beginningMan gave names to all the animalsIn the beginning, long time ago.He saw an animal that liked to snortHorns on his head and they weren't too shortIt looked like there wasn't nothing that he couldn't pull"Ah, I'll think I'll call it a bull".Man gave names to all the animalsIn the beginning, in the beginningMan gave names to all the animalsIn the beginning, long time ago.He saw an animal leaving a muddy trailReal dirty face and a curly trailHe wasn't too small and he wasn't too big"Ah, think I'll call it a pig".Man gave names to all the animalsIn the beginning, in the beginningMan gave names to all the animalsIn the beginning, long time ago.Next animal that he did meetHad wool on his back and hooves on his feetEating grass on a mountainside so steep"Ah, think I'll call it a sheep".Man gave names to all the animalsIn the beginning, in the beginningMan gave names to all the animalsIn the beginning, long time ago.He saw an animal as smooth as glassSlithering his way through the grassSaw him dissappear by a tree near a lake .....
