Lyrics

Never let it be said that Oh, this is swill I'm glad you like it "Oh, you have a car now?" Yes, oh yes I do! Oh, fifty dollars worth of half dollars

God moves in mysterious ways Cast your bread upon the waters The lord will provide this thief This steak is straight from heaven

My body was numbed and my mind paralyzed with fear For a while I shined shoes downtown and sold the papers Suddenly from heaven, the jewels have appeared on the ground
