Ephraim and Manasseh

Down into Egypt did young Joe sojourn As the slave of a band of travelers spurn Sold to the kings of shepherd stock The servant of the prison keeper's lock After many a year of hardship and lies His intellect shown forth to those who were wise He was placed over all the Egyptian council And given a wife of priestly counsel When Jacob his father was close to his rest He blessed Joseph's sons with the firstborn's best To Ephraim the younger it would come to be given A kingdom of nations the greatest ever livin' Manasseh the eldest would also be great And both with the blessings of good fruitful fate The British Commonwealth fulfilled God's plan With America their brother lending a hand Must The Civil War open those eyes who can't see Bull Run was Manassas where the North had to flee Wake up you ding-dongs must have been the Lord's call See I've given the South some generals like Stonewall And off in the West so soon shall you see Two generals who know how to defeat the great Lee At Shiloh there has fallen far too many men In blood shall your stupid enslavement end
