Western Version	A
	-
	-
Cain and Abel were brothers born	B
Koop la Come along cows	C
One raised cattle and one raised corn	B
Koop la Come along Co hoe	D
	-
And Cain he farmed by the river side	E
So he did not care how much it dried	E
	-
For he banked and he sluiced and he ditched and he led	F
And the Corn don't care for the Horn	B
A half Euphrates out of her bed	F
To water his dam' Corn	B
	-
But Abel herded out on the plains	G
Where you have to go by the dams and rains	G
	-
It happened after a three year drought	H
The wells and the springs and the dams gave out	H
	-
The Herd bulls came to Cain's new house	I
They wanted water so	D
With the hot red Sun between their brows	C
Sayin' quot Give us water for our pore cows quot	H
But Cain he told 'em quot No quot	H
	-
The Cows they came to Cain's big house	I
With the cold white Moon between their brows	C
Sayin' quot Give some water to us pore cows quot	H
But Cain he told 'em quot No quot	H
	-
The li'l Calves came to Cain's fine house	I
With the Evenin' Star between their brows	C
Sayin' quot 'Give us water an' we'll be cows quot	H
But Cain he told 'em quot No quot	H
	-
The Herd bulls led 'em back again	J
An' Abel went an' said to Cain	K
quot Oh sell me water my brother dear	L
Or there will be no beef this year quot	H
And Cain he answered quot No quot	H
	-
quot Then draw your hatches my brother true	M
An' let a little water through quot	H
But Cain he answered quot No	D
	-
quot My dams are tight an' my ditches are sound	H
An' not a drop goes through or round	H
Till she's done her duty by the Corn	B
	-
quot I will not sell an' I will not draw	N
An' if you breach I'll have the Law	N
As sure as you are borne quot	H
	-
Then Abel took his best bull goad	H
An' holed a dyke on the Eden road	H
	-
He opened her up with foot an' hand	H
An' let Euphrates loose on the land	H
	-
He spilled Euphrates out on the plain	K
So's all his cattle could drink again	J
	-
Then Cain he saw what Abel done	A
But in those days there was no Gun	A
	-
So he made him a club of a hickory limb	O
An' halted Abel an' said to him	O
	-
quot I did not sell an' I did not draw	N
An' now you've breached I'll have the Law	N
	-
quot You ride abroad in your hat and spurs	P
Hell hoofin' over my cucumbers	P
	-
quot You pray to the Lord to send you luck	Q
An' you loose your steers in my garden truck	Q
	-
quot An' now you're bust as you ought to be	R
You can keep on prayin' but not to me quot	H
	-
Then Abel saw it meant the life	S
But in those days there was no Knife	S
	-
So he up with his big bull goad instead	H
But Cain hit first and dropped him dead	H
	-
The Herd bulls ran when they smelt the blood	H
An' horned an' pawed in that Red Mud	H
The Calves they bawled and the Steers they milled	H
Because it was the First Man Killed	H
An' the whole Herd broke for the Land of Nod	H
An' Cain was left to be judged by God	H
	-
But seein' all he had had to bear	T
I never could call the Judgment fair	T
