Man Gave Names to All The Animals — текст песни (Bob Dylan)

Man gave names to all the animals

In the beginning, in the beginning.

Man gave names to all the animals

In the beginning, long time ago.



He saw an animal that liked to growl,

Big furry paws and he liked to howl,

Great big furry back and furry hair.

"ah, think Ill call it a bear."



Man gave names to all the animals

In the beginning, in the beginning.

Man gave names to all the animals

In the beginning, long time ago.



He saw an animal up on a hill

Chewing up so much grass until she was filled.

He saw milk comin out but he didnt know how.

"ah, think Ill call it a cow."



Man gave names to all the animals

In the beginning, in the beginning.

Man gave names to all the animals

In the beginning, long time ago.



He saw an animal that liked to snort,

Horns on his head and they werent too short.

It looked like there wasnt nothin that he couldnt pull.

"ah, think Ill call it a bull."



Man gave names to all the animals

In the beginning, in the beginning.

Man gave names to all the animals

In the beginning, long time ago.



He saw an animal leavin a muddy trail,

Real dirty face and a curly tail.

He wasnt too small and he wasnt too big.

"ah, think Ill call it a pig."



Man gave names to all the animals

In the beginning, in the beginning.

Man gave names to all the animals

In the beginning, long time ago.



Next animal that he did meet

Had wool on his back and hooves on his feet,

Eating grass on a mountainside so steep.

"ah, think Ill call it a sheep."



Man gave names to all the animals

In the beginning, in the beginning.

Man gave names to all the animals

In the beginning, long time ago.



He saw an animal as smooth as glass

Slithering his way through the grass.

Saw him disappear by a tree near a lake . . .
