Who Killed That Child?
(2 Sam. 12)
Who killed that child
Conceived by Bathsheba?
The Lord done did him in! (15)
Yet David did pray and fast
Tried to fix his despicable past
Nothing he could do, the child was dead
But he didn’t let it go to his head
Changed his clothes in his emotion
Gave to God his due devotion (20)
Then sat down and ate some food
And started to fell pretty good.
Said, “In due time I’m ‘o’ go to the Lord
Fly right up! I’m gonna soar.” (23)
Didn’t let it go to his head;
Took Bathsheba right to bed. (24)
Solomon was the name of the son
Or Jedediah, if you want to have fun. (25)
Now, Joab fought against Rabbah
And captured that royal city. (26)
Turned out to be quite a pity;
Took the crown right off the king’s head!
To the sons of Ammon he was a dread (26)
Cut ’em up will all kinds of tools (31)
David’s men were to them as ghouls.
