The Statler Brothers - Song of David lyrics

David, son of Jesse Shepherd to his fathers sheep Played the harp when Saul got weary Rocked the giant till he was fast asleep People prayed when Saul k**ed thousands When David k**ed ten thousand, they cheered And all that noise they saw angry And the shepherd was on the lamb for years David was a man down in Israel Fighter, lover, shepherd, king, outlaw And through it all God loved him and forgave him David, the man who'd done it all Bathsheba wife of Uriah Took a bath under David's watchful eye He fell in love and took her body Then he sent Uriah out to die He was weak, like you and I are And as a sinner David did his part But God said, "This man David Is a man after My own heart" David was a man down in Israel Fighter, lover, shepherd, king, outlaw And through it all God loved him and forgave him David, the man who'd done it all Ah David, the man who'd done it all
