Scopes Trial
Cat. #0418 (MFH #588) - As sung by Mr. Vance Randolph in Eureka Springs, Arkansas on September 24, 1959 

VERSE 1
O, th folks in Tennessee, as faithful as can be
An' they know th Bible teaches what is right
They believe in God above an' his great undying love
An' they know they are protected by his might
Then, t' Dayton come a man, with 'is new ideas so grand
An' he says, we come from monkeys, long ago
But in teachin' his belief, Mr. Scopes found only grief
For they would not let their ole religion go

VERSE 2
You may find a little belief, it will only bring you grief
For a house that's built on sand is sure t' fall
An' Mr. Scopes will learn, wherever he may turn
That, th old religions better after all 

Of course, the movie was much better, it was about Clarrence Darrow and Wm. Jennings Bryant and a war of words.
The movie: "Inherit the Wind"  I had the impression that the good guys had won.
"You never can keep a bad idea down, for long!"
