Daniel Saw the Stone Here are some lyrics for "Daniel Saw the Stone," transcribed from a version of the song by the Golden Gate Quartet on their "Swing Down, Chariot" album. It is a traditional song. There are some differences between this version and the Phish version, mainly in terms of verses sung. Also, Trey sings "used on the mountain" where it sounds like the Golden Gate Quartet sing "hewed out [of] the mountain," but it's hard to tell... Oh Daniel saw the stone that was hewed out the mountain Daniel saw the stone that came rolling through Babylon Daniel saw the stone that was hewed out the mountain Coming down to redeem a mighty world [repeat above 4 lines] Well, meet me, Jesus, meet me Meet me in the middle of the air 'Cause now if these wings should fail me Lord, I want to hitch on another pair Oh Jesus was the stone that was hewed out the mountain Jesus was the stone that came rolling through Babylon Jesus was the stone that was hewed out the mountain Coming down to redeem a mighty world [repeat above 4 lines] Oh, well the tree it was bending Up in the heavenly land Well, my God spoke unto the Holy Ghost He said, "Come on and let's make man" I'm looking for the stone that was hewed out the mountain I'm looking for the stone that came rolling through Babylon I'm looking for the stone that was hewed out the mountain Coming down to redeem a mighty world [repeat above 4 lines] Well, now, early in the morning the trumpet's gonna sound The dead and Christ is gonna rise Well, if you ain't got good religion Lord, then hell you'll open your eyes I found that stone that was hewed out the mountain I found the stone that came rolling through Babylon I found the stone that was hewed out the mountain Coming down to redeem a mighty world [repeat above 4 lines] The main difference between this version and Phish's version is that Phish only uses the first verse cited here ("meet me, Jesus, meet me"). The other verse that Trey sings (the only other verse) is this: Well, I saw a weary traveler He was walking on down the road Well, I saw him later that evening He was walking on down that road [followed by the "walk, walk, walk..." part] Also, Phish does not change the chorus each time around, as the Golden Gate Quartet does, but instead sticks with "Daniel saw the stone..." as in the first chorus cited here
