Do you know a man called Job?

  F                   G

Honest man, pots of dough.

Even owned a big chateau,

              F                G        C                  Am /  /  /  F  / / /   G / / /

and he lived in the land of Uz. x2  And . .      

 

Satan wandered round the globe,

said to God he oughta know,

Job would curse him if brought low.

This man from the land of Uz x2   This  . .

 

“Go ahead then “, God said “No,

He won’t waver, he will grow!

Gave the devil leave to go,

and test the man from Uz. x2  And . . .

 

Soon Job had nothing left to show,

Lost it all, was touch and go!

Vile diseases said ‘Hello!’

to the faithful man from Uz. x2 To  . . .

 

Not one word against the Lord,

Did Job speak to his friends & Co, So

 God told Satan he must go,

and leave the man from Uz. x2 And

 

Now Job’s trials all were o’er.

God just blessed him more and more.

 All his wealth did God restore

 in the merry merry land of Uz. x2  In . . .
