MAN GAVE NAMES TO ALL THE ANIMALS (Bob Dylan cover)

in #dsound5 years ago


This is another interesting Bob Dylan classic I covered.
The music to "Man Gave Names to All the Animals" by all means is reggae-inspired so I added jazzy vocals. The lyrics were inspired by the biblical Book of Genesis, verses 2:19–20 in which Adam named the animals and birds.
In the last verse, the lyrics take a more sinister turn:
Saw an animal as smooth as glass
Slithering his way through the grass
Saw him disappear by a tree near a lake
...
I added:
It`s the snake
Let me know if you like my version

Lyrics
Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, in the beginning.
Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, long time ago.
He saw an animal that liked to growl,
Big furry paws and he liked to howl,
Great big furry back and furry hair.
"Ah, think I'll call it a bear."
Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, in the beginning.
Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, long time ago.
He saw an animal up on a hill
Chewing up so much grass until she was filled.
He saw milk comin' out but he didn't know how.
"Ah, think I'll call it a cow."
Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, in the beginning.
Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, long time ago.
He saw an animal that liked to snort,
Horns on his head and they weren't too short.
It looked like there wasn't nothin' that he couldn't pull.
"Ah, think I'll call it a bull."
Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, in the beginning.
Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, long time ago.
He saw an animal leavin' a muddy trail,
Real dirty face and a curly tail.
He wasn't too small and he wasn't too big.
"Ah, think I'll call it a pig."
Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, in the beginning.
Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, long time ago.
Next animal that he did meet
Had wool on his back and hooves on his feet,
Eating grass on a mountainside so steep.
"Ah, think I'll call it a sheep."
Man gave names to all the animals
