song of solomon
The Lord appeared to Solomon  And asked him in his dream Just what would you want If I would grant you anything  King Solomon said to the Lord On riches I won't dwell Just grant to me the wisdom Lord To lead Your people well  When he woke the Lord had blessed The Throne on which he sat And nobody ever caught him  Sleepin' after that  People heard about him And came from far and wide He'd lay his words of wisdom on And open up their eyes  And didn't Solomon have it all together Didn't Solomon lead his people well Didn't Solomon have all together Don't his words ring clearly as a bell  Two women came to Solomon Both had given birth I'm troubled though dear kindly king Please help me set the birth  One night while I lay sleeping This womans baby died She laid it's body on my bosom Trading it for mine  The other woman said to him  That it was not true An' Solomon said bring the child I'll tell you what we'll do  We'll divide him with a sword And half to each disperse The real mother cried oh no Just give the child to her  And didn't Solomon have it all together Didn't Solomon lead his people well Didn't Solomon have all together Don't his words ring clearly as a bell  Didn't Solomon have it all together
