Two brothers not liking each other
Cain and Abel their names
You couldn't please 'em even in Eden
Some things never change

If only things had turned out better
Instead of starting a fight
So his mother said, "O brother"
And he was gettin' in trouble that night

Chorus:

She was raising Cain at the dinner table
Can you please explain where is Abel
Cain was a-hiding, running from God
And so he settled out of town in the land of Nod

Cain was a farmer, such a good ole charmer
But Abel was a-keeping the sheep
In his youth Cain didn't tell the truth
So the bad seeds he would reap

Well he didn't obey 'cause he wanted his way
But God had told him
When he didn't come home and they were all alone
His mom wondered "Where have you been"

(Repeat Chorus)

So don't walk away or wander or stray
Gotta tell the truth
Gotta obey and follow God's ways
'Cause you know He's calling you

(Repeat Chorus)

And he settled out of town in the land of Nod
