Lyrics Cain And Abel - Louis Armstrong

Cain And Abel

Now have you read of the fable of Cain and Abel?
Once they were in a scandal that shook the town
Cain became mighty jealous of brother Abel
So he rose up and smote Abel down
Now the Lord sure was hopping mad
And yet he was plenty sad
To think that he had a man like Cain
The Lord spoke and showed his wrath
And Cain walked the path
That led to a life full of pain
You can’t run from the shadow of retribution
If you’re bad then you gotta pay for your wrongs
Let yourself take a lesson from Cain and Able:
Don’t lament, be content
Don’t resent what the Lord has sent
And you’ll find that you’re bound to get along
