Song Of David - The Statler Brothers

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 killed thousands

When David killed 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
