lyrics

The turkle dove done drooped his wing
The turkle dove done drooped his wing
The turkle dove done drooped his wing
Went on Zion hill to sing

Adam and Eve, do-do
Adam and Eve, don't tell it to me
Just meet me at the do'
Don't tell it to me
Sa-sa-la-do on sa-la-sa-ree

My name written on David line
My name written on David line
My name written on David line
I'm goin' to heaven on the wheel of time

Adam and Eve, do-do
Adam and Eve, don't tell it to me
Just meet me at the do'
Don't tell it to me
Sa-sa-la-do on sa-la-sa-ree

When I get to heaven I know the rule
When I get to heaven I know the rule
When I get to heaven I know the rule
Keep right down to the bathing pool

Adam and Eve, do-do
Adam and Eve, don't tell it to me
Just meet me at the do'
Don't tell it to me
Sa-sa-la-do on sa-la-sa-ree
