	Story Behind the Song The author feels the notion that the forbidden fruit was an apple does not ring true, for an apple can be completely consumed, core and all without choking, try the same thing with a very large plum and it is far more a "Forbidden fruit". This song took 2 days to write while the author was in a religious trance brought on by plum wine and udo drum playing. Lyrics The Plum Look around pretty baby at all that we've got Look around pretty baby at all that we've got Look around pretty baby at all that we've got We got the lion and the lamb laying in the same spot. It's a good day in the Garden of Eden. God made Eve from the rib of a man God made Adam from the dust and sand He let them run naked in His paradise Then he said you two better play nice You can do any thing you want to do But that tree of life is not for you You can eat anything that you can chew But don't eat the plum, if you do. You'll have a bad day in the Garden of Eden. But the snake was hiding under cover in the leaves And had a conversation with Eve He talked her into eating that Forbidden plum And then he said you ought to take your husband some He was hungry and he thought she understood And she brought that plum from out of the woods He said bring a little more baby if you could Cause that last bite of fruit sure tasted good. And the sun was going down in the Garden of Eden. God came walkin just before night Adam and Eve went sneekin out of sight And when he caught them down and dirty Under that tree Adam said Lord have mercy on me He said I'm sorry but let me try to explain This woman done gone and messed up my brain God said Adam now I've heard it all And he threw them both over the garden wall And he locked the gate to the Garden of Eden Now every time you find your hair turning grey And every time your children run away And every time you wonder why your life is hell The reason is written in the Biblical And now the whole world's got blues you better believe And the snake crawls on his belly through the leaves And the world is full of liars and thieves It's all on account of a girl named Eve. It's a bad day outside the Garden of Eden.
