Lyrics:
There will be a show tonight on trampoline
The Hendersons will all be there
Late of Pablo Fanques Fair, what a scene
Over men and horses, hoops
Suburbia
Break a window by the town hall
Listen, the siren screams
There in the distance, like a roll call
Of all the suburban dreams
Let's take
And guns did flare and guns did bawl
And I planted my bolo knife in the neck
Of mad John Finn
I took his wretched life
Now I'm over by the bandstand
Huddie Ledbetter/John Lomax
Chorus:
Irene, goodnight. Irene, goodnight Goodnight, Irene. Goodnight, Irene. I'll see you in my dreams.
Last Saturday
One two three four
Ooh ooh
While the sun hangs in the sky and the desert has sand
While the waves crash in the sea and meet the land
While
could not see for the fog in my eyes
I could not feel for the fear in my life
From across the great divide, In the distance I saw a light
Of John
own
Broken song, empty words I know still live in my heart all alone
For the moonlit pass by the Alamo and Rose
My Rose of San Antone (smilin' John
of a white Chevy Tahoe
She's a little up there, down here
Puts a little King James in my John Deere
Thank the Lord the girl's got my back
Hangs her halo
handled steel like a man.
They took John Henry to the graveyard
Laid him down in the sand
Every locomotive comin' a-rolling by by by
Hollered "there
Well Brother John went down to the garden,
On a long hot summer's day.
To watch that girl he would hide in the shadows,
As she worked the time
she's drifting like a
Satellite. There's a neon light ablaze in this green smoky haze, laughter down on Elizabeth Street
And a lonesome bell tone in
All my exes live in Texas
And Texas is a place I'd dearly love to be
But all my exes live in Texas
And that's why I hang my hat in Tennessee
the wind and rain
By havin' strength to go against the grain
Well, there's more folks than a few
Who share my point of view
But they're worried
If they're
Things will never be the same
Still I'm awfully glad I came
Resonating in the shape of things to come
Never waiting when I know there's only one
One two three four
Ooh ooh
While the sun hangs in the sky and the desert has sand
While the waves crash in the sea and meet the land
While
of imitation vermillion
And a red bulb hangs over the throne that has been found
This is the scene on Main Street, when John Fifty comes to town
Yes, this
can do about the whole thing anyway
It's a hang on kinda ride, whispin' in through space and time,
Rockin' this big old rock just tryn'a have fun
the curves
Through the corner of her eyes she slowly observe
(Singout)
[Verse 1]
John Legend
Anytime she come around
Something is about to go down
Listen
I am the man with the plan to shake the hand of John L. Sullivan
Fighter till the end, legend he will be
And if any man should ask, if any man
Well I used to hang out down at the VFW hall
And stare at the photographs up on the wall
Of the neighborhood boys that died in
The wars we've been
light of the day
Pulls the sheet up once again
As the phone hangs by the cord
As the streets begin to fill
There's no distance anymore
There's
it don't look like no trouble there
As they head for the bar in their lumpy suits
And I slip my hand between the thighs of John Finn's wife
And they
Ha!
This here's a story about, Lost John
Lost John done flew the coop!
Hee!
How many long gone?
Lost John standin' by the railroad track
There's a picture on the wall of me on a John Deere
Jenny handed me a beer, said, "How the hell did you get there?"
Oklahoma
Mm, mm
There were
