Man in The Sky Lyrics by Connie Converse

Musicks

2009

There once was a girl in the olden days
Grew weary of men with a roving gaze
'Farewell fickle lovers, goodbye, goodbye
For I'm falling in love with the man in the sky'
The man in the sky he walks in haste
With three bright buckles around his waist
With a great dog near and a little dog nigh
And a steady gleam in his golden eye
The girl went out on a windy hill
And cried when the night was dark and still
'Come down, come down you man in the sky
Or else I am likely to pine and die'
The man in the sky didn't stop to talk
He went right on with his evening walk
And the great dog howled and the little dog whined
And the girl grew cold in the rising wynd
She took to her bed
From the light of the sun
But when sun his course had run
She went to window so high, so high
And waited and watched Orion go by
The man in the sky he walks in haste
With three bright buckles around his waist
With a great dog near and a little dog nigh
And a gleam for her in his golden eye
One night she stood on her windowsill
And stepped right out on the highest hill
And climbed to the place where the planets are
And jumped from there to the nearest star
She rocked in Cassiopeia's chair
And waked the dragon and roused the bear
And the great dog howled and the little dog whined
And the girl grew cold in the rising wynd
She found Orion at last
And then she found he was just like other men
When on his shoulder her head she’d lay
His eye was a million miles away
The great dog howled and the little dog whined
And the girl grew cold in the rising wynd
And the dragon snarled and the lion roared
And the stars flew by in a golden horde
This tale has a moral brief to tell
And I won't go on for you know it well
Remember the girl from the days gone by
Who fell in love with the man in the sky
She rocked in Cassiopeia's chair
And waked the dragon and roused the bear
And where the buried her I forget
But the man in the sky isn't married yet
