Borrow From Me 1912

Ev'ry time they gets a plan
where they want to find a man
who will lead them five or ten
they first test my generosity
I've loaned my coin out day by day
to diff'rent folks
who swore they'd pay
but these few words I'm goin' to say
when some one wants to touch me.

Bring me the stone
that David slew Goliath with
and from the apple Adam ate,
bring me the core,
Bring me the leaf
of the very same tree
that the dove took the branch
back to brother Noah,
Bring me the lion
that let David live
and the whale that
swallowed Jonah in the sea,
If you bring me ev'ry thing
that I ask you to bring old boy
you can borrow from me.

and the whale that
swallowed Jonah in the sea,
If you bring me ev'ry thing
