The Cover Was A Rolling Stone
A parody of the song 'The Cover of the Rolling Stone' by Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show, written by Shel Silverstein
My band is a mac computer and a bunch of software. I mostly put together music for others to do. My CD **$3.99 ;-) ** has 22 songs, 11 are full versions, for learning the song and 11 are instruments only, so you can do them yourself if you want to, like karaoke.
Story behind the song
The Cover of the Rolling Stone talks about trying to find meaning in life through fame, fortune and "fun." But true meaning in life can only be found behind a different kind of rolling stone, the one that was rolled away from Jesus tomb to show that he rose from the dead.
Lyrics
THE COVER WAS A ROLLINf STONE (Matthew 28:2)
It was a huge humdinger, took a truck to bring 'er, and if shoved it barely would go.
The thing was a beauty, but the thing was uncouth. At two thousand pounds or so.
The view inside it kills because the door it fills and the truth might not be known.
But he's gone you betcha and a look you'll getcha, 'cause the cover was a rollin stone.
chorus
Rollin stone
For the Savior's tomb it was a cover.
Stone
Peter, John and Mary, (not his mother)
Stone
Saw he rose up from that place 'cause the cover was a rollin stone.
How could they get inside, matey, 'cause the stone was weighty? It was heavy, hard and mean!
And don't forget those ornery soldier boys, a standing there in between!
But the troops resigned and they did not find any need to grunt or groan.
Didn't need to heave ho it, it was gone, and we know it.
'Cause the cover was a rollin stone. (chorus)
Well, they were curious and snoopy so they got down stoopy, for to gape in the tomb that day.
They got a genuine looking in preview showin' that he got away.
They went and told their friends. You know they couldn't deny the amazing things they were shown.
When the angel, he hitched 'er then he hauled and he pitched 'er cause the cover was a rollin stone. (chorus)
Well, now you say you get your kicks a playing hot and heavy licks and it's brought you money, "love" and fame,
But you still got a hole in the bottom of your soul. It's a dirty, rotten, crying, shame.
Well , is there some one to free ya from this vicious tyranny ya know has got you feeling lost and lone.
Let the Lord Jesus reach ya through the things he can teach ya.
from a different kind of rollin stone. (chorus)
