Wiseman
God gave the wiseman a long gray beard
And told him to walk on the land
Wiseman, he comes with a golden tongue
And a question in each hand
Wiseman, he comes with a golden tongue
And a question in each hand
Why must I wear a long gray beard?
Why must I walk on the land?
When all my life I was penniless and poor
Troubles I could barely stand
When all my life I was penniless and poor
Troubles I could barely stand
Oooo
Was it my youth that kept away
The peace that I have today?
Was it my love for my wife and my child
Who now in the Earth do lay?
Was it my love for my wife and my child
Who now in the Earth do lay?
My love, my love she kept me through storms
Nothing in the world did I fear
Though she is gone, her spirit lingers on
And is with me as I travel here
Though she is gone, her spirit lingers on
And is with me as I travel here
Ooooo
And as I walk my way
With my long gray beard
To the high gates above
Tell every stranger and friend that I meet
That I found heaven in love
Tell every stranger and friend that I meet
That I found heaven in love
And tell every stranger and friend that I meet
I found heaven in love
Ooooo
And told him to walk on the land
Wiseman, he comes with a golden tongue
And a question in each hand
Wiseman, he comes with a golden tongue
And a question in each hand
Why must I wear a long gray beard?
Why must I walk on the land?
When all my life I was penniless and poor
Troubles I could barely stand
When all my life I was penniless and poor
Troubles I could barely stand
Oooo
Was it my youth that kept away
The peace that I have today?
Was it my love for my wife and my child
Who now in the Earth do lay?
Was it my love for my wife and my child
Who now in the Earth do lay?
My love, my love she kept me through storms
Nothing in the world did I fear
Though she is gone, her spirit lingers on
And is with me as I travel here
Though she is gone, her spirit lingers on
And is with me as I travel here
Ooooo
And as I walk my way
With my long gray beard
To the high gates above
Tell every stranger and friend that I meet
That I found heaven in love
Tell every stranger and friend that I meet
That I found heaven in love
And tell every stranger and friend that I meet
I found heaven in love
Ooooo
