Down By The Waters of Sebus

Down by the waters of Sebus One bright sun-shiny day No jobs, no bills to grieve us Me and my buddies just aching to play Well, up rolled some Nephite tough guy Rattling on about serving his Lord I can't say I payed much attention Until he whipped out that shiny sword And then he cut off my arm Yeah, he cut off my arm The whole thing lost its charm When he cut off my arm It's usually fun messing with shepherds 'Cause shepherds are usually wimps It's like pulling the noses off lepers Or taking lunch money from shrimps We laughed as he pulled that sling out, (ha-ha) We laughed as he let fly But the whole thing seemed a lot less funny When he hit my buddy Zoram right in the eye And then he cut off my arm Yeah, he cut off my arm I didn't mean him no harm But he cut off my arm Well I used to play piano and I used to pick guitar I used to be the bull of every Betty in the bar I'd pinch 'em, and I'd tickle, they'd laugh, and beg for more But all my good times are piled up on King Lamoni's floor Never saw myself as a robber Just one of the boys out looking for fun And I didn't expect to get clobbered Leave with two arms and come home with one I'd like to think I learned my lesson Though it might be too late for me You see a shepherd, and you think he needs messing? You'd better turn right around and flee! He might cut off your arm He might cut off your arm Sound the alarm! He might cut off your arm He cut off my arm He cut off my arm I didn't mean him no harm But he cut off my arm
