The Statler Brothers – Song Of Solomon lyrics

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
