God's Little Fool Circling 'round the temple walls, tip-toeing rocky ground/Searching for the open door, that's nowhere to be found/I've scratched and studied every stone, for the secet to getting in/But eyes and ears and fingertips, have failed me once again/I left my home and my family, a thousand miles behind/to make this holy pilgrimage, and I got here right on time/ Got here on the highest day, expecting a great big crowd/ Got here at the crack of dawn, not another soul around/And I waited ever patiently, to be the first in line/Waited what seemed eternity, now the sun has crossed the sky/Hey there Mr. Watchman, up on your wall so high/Tell me please when the temple priest and his little band goes by/Tell me please when the temple priest and his little band goes by/He looked at me without a word, no gesture did he make/Just turned around and disappeared, his closing rounds to make/I'm going back to Biwabik, to my wife and my working tools/I left there a little bit of a bigshot, going back a fool/Someone else will have to be bigshot, I'm just God's little fool/someone else will always be bigshot, I remain God's little fool.
