Ab
When I was nine years old

Way back in Ohio

The 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

Ten thousand years ago they lived right here

It seems incredible

But yet it's the truth

Was turned to stone

But he was not alone

There were hundreds of them walking on the sands of the river

Where a stream once flowed

Into the Ohio

Everything was turned to sto-oa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ohne

The bible speaks of this

There were giants in our midst
Fm
But they slaughtered one another in a meaningless war

Thank your lucky stars that we don't do that anymore

That gravel-encrusted skull
