Well were you there My good man When the river called the Colorado Made the canyon they call Grand Believe me now My good man I was there, but now here I am And were you there My good man When the watery volcano Exploded into land Believe me now My good man I was there, but now here I am And were you there My good man When the weather became water And then washed ashore in the sand Believe me now My good man I was there, but now here I am And will you be there My good man When the sun is finally smothered out By his mighty right hand Believe me now My good man I'll be there, but now here I am
