Parody of "I've Got A Tiger By The Tail" by Buck Owens I've got Elijah fightin' Baal it's plain to see I know I ain't much, but you-know-Who's with me You choose your way, but you'll learn, and I won't fail And it looks like I've got Elijah fightin' Baal Well, I talked to Ahab when he was the King of the land Said it's time to make you understand Bring all your false prophets up to Mt. Car(a)mel Now it looks like I've got Elijah fightin' Baal Well, I said, Let's have a contest to call fire from the sky You go first, and then I'll have a try Well, 450 prophets cried out to no avail Now, it looks like I've got Elijah fightin' Baal Well, they cried to Baal all day; it didn't do them no good I poured 12 barrels of water on the wood And I cried out, Lord please prove today you're God of Israel Please prove I'm right with fire from the air I got the fire from the air; it came for me It burned up everything immediately Well, 1 Kings Chapter 18 tells the tale In the Book called the Bible -- Elijah fightin' Baal
