When I was nine years old |
|
Way back in |
|
OhioThe hired man was digging up a well |
|
On my father's land |
|
He found a fossil there |
|
It was a massive bone |
|
And since then |
|
I've known |
|
That a race of giants lived in the northern hemisphere |
|
Ten thousand years ago they lived right here |
|
It seems incredible |
|
But yet it's the truth |
|
That a fossilized and petrified |
|
Calcified primeval brute |
|
Was turned to stone |
|
But he was not alone |
|
There were hundreds of them walking on the sand toward river |
|
Even giants think they'll always live forever |
|
Where a stream once flowed |
|
Into the Ohio |
|
Everything was turned to stone |
|
The bible speaks of this |
|
There were giants in our midst |
|
But they slaughtered one another in a meaningless war |
|
Thank your lucky stars that we don't do that anymore |
|
That gravel-encrusted skull |
|
That was found on a river shoal |
|
Double rows of very sharp teeth |
|
The massive jaw measured twenty-five feet |
|
Well it's turned to stone |
|
There were hundreds of them walking on the sand toward river |
|
Even giants think they'll always live forever |
