roger took off his raincoat
and hung it in a peg
he sat at the kitchen tanle
and scratched his left leg
molly turned the stove on
and cooked a fried egg
roger needed a favor
but did not want to beg
eve thought men ridiculous
because they went to war
adam tried to tell her
that that is what men are for
grant and lee marched down the street
with medals on their chests
montezuma baked an apple pie
as the sun set in the west
hannibal rode an elephant
cleopatra burned her boats
little david shot goliath
but moses got the votes
washington beat the redcoats
and,they put him on the dollar
lincoln freed the slaves
and they did not stop to holler
geronimo shot an arrow
custer took a stand
teddy roosevelt rode up the hill
and said ain’t life grand?
all of these things happened
back in the day
we will gather at the river
that is what folks say
