John T. Scopes Case-Vernon Dalhart

[00:14.00]Oh the folks in Tennessee [00:16.88]Are as faithful as can be, [00:21.56]And they know the Bible teaches what is right. [00:26.43]They believe in God above [00:30.60]And His great undying love [00:33.77]And they know they are protected by His might. [00:40.86]Then to Dayton came a man [00:43.45]With his ideas new and grand [00:48.23]And he said we came from monkeys long ago. [00:53.79]But in teaching his belief [00:57.21]Mr. Scopes found only grief [01:00.89]For they would not let their old religion go. [01:06.34]You may find a new belief [01:10.45]It will only bring you grief [01:14.11]For a house that's built on sand is sure to fall. [01:21.55]And wherever you may turn [01:24.30]There's a lesson you will learn [01:27.90]That the old religion's better after all. [01:40.90]Then the folks throughout the land [01:44.78]Saw his house was built on sand [01:48.00]And they said, "We will not listen anymore." [01:54.02]So they told him he was wrong [01:57.50]And it wasn't very long [02:00.34]Till he found that he was turned from every door. [02:07.56]Oh, you must not doubt the word [02:10.45]That is written by the Lord [02:14.60]For if you do your house will surely fall. [02:20.96]And Mr. Scopes will learn [02:23.86]That wherever he may turn [02:28.66]That the old religion's better after all. [02:35.23]You may find a new belief [02:37.00]It will only bring you grief [02:40.78]For a house that's built on sand is sure to fall. [02:48.68]And wherever you may turn [02:50.94]There's a lesson you will learn [02:54.88]That the old religion's better after all.
