Why tell strangers we're not married ?
He said I am so fair to see
So could we lie, for his safety ?
He said his soul shall live because of me
Uncovered eyes make men bolder
Are we a chip on God's shoulder ?
Since God restrained me from bearing
My maid and I are wife-sharing
Once she conceived, she despised me
Judge between us. I made her flee
Now Abe sits in the tent door, seeing things
And I have to laugh at what I'm hearing
I hear that I shall have a son
My firstborn son, at ninety one
God made me laugh, for all to see
That all who hear will laugh with me
Ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-laugh with me
