Now have you read of the fable of Cain and Abel? |
|
Once they were in a scandal that shook the town. |
|
Cain became mighty jealous of brother Abel, |
|
So he rose up and smote Abel down. |
|
Now the Lord sure was hopping mad, |
|
And yet he was plenty sad, |
|
to think that he had a man like Cain. |
|
The Lord spoke and showed his wrath, |
|
And Cain walked the path |
|
That led to a life full of pain. |
|
You can't run from the shadow of retribution. |
|
If you're bad then you gotta pay for your wrongs. |
|
Let yourself take a lesson from Cain and Able: |
|
Don't lament, be content, |
|
Don't resent what the Lord has sent, |
|
And you'll find that you're bound to get along. |
