Belshazar

Johnny Cash

10

Well the *Bible tells us about a man

Who ruled Babylon and all it's land

Around the city he built a wall

And declared that Babylon would never fall

He had concubines and wives

He called his Babylon "Paradise"

On his throne he drank and ate

But for Belshazzer it was getting late

Chorus:

For he was weighed in the balance and found wanting

His kingdom was divided, couldn't stand

He was weighed in the balance and found wanting

His houses were built upon the sand
