an allotment shed by a railroad siding
In came the man for the watering can
He didn't see John hiding
Good boy Mad John
Chorus:
Mad mad Mad John, etc.
Tell me who's that writin', John the Revelator

When he found himself surrounded
By police everywhere
They tried to take his workers to jail
When he grabbed one by his hair

of lies
John the Revelator, he's a smooth operator
It's time we cut him down to size
Take him by the hand And put him on the stand
Let us hear his
Little John lived on a mountainside,
Never thought much about taking on a bride,
Finally he upped and he married one day,
She didn't like
Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16
Oh, I'm a child of a backseat freedom, baptized by rock and roll (rock and roll)

John Henry laid down his hammer and died
Well, now John Henry, he had him a woman
By the name of Polly Ann

want to know, how does the song go
Come hear Uncle John's Band by the riverside
Got some things to talk about, here beside the rising tide

Most of the favorite memories of
My boyhood days in Arkansas
Are scattered around an old wood stove
At a place we call John's
It was just an old tar
