Cain And Abel

Cain And Abel - Louis Armstrong and His Orchestra

Written by：Jules Loman/Belle Fenstock

Now have you read of the fabel 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 Abel

Don't lament be content

Don't resent what the lord has sent

And you'll find that you're bound to get along
