   He didn’t know quite what to do.

3. So the Lord took a rib from Adam’s side
   And made Miss Eve, fore to be his bride

   But of one tree you must not touch

   And at Miss Eve his eye he won.

   Take a few the Lord won’t mind

   And soon she had her fig leaf full

   And spied them cores all over the ground.

   “Twernt me Lord, must a been Eve.”

   And earn your livin’ by the sweat of your face.”

   “Gee I wish I had that old rib back.”

   Eve got the apple and Adam got the core.
