Song Of Solomon - The Statler Brothers

Bathsheba and David, Israel’s greatest king

As king, he built the temple that God would not let his father build

And in his reign he asked God for two things, wisdom and knowledge

This is the 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 said the first

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

And 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?
