Lyrics:
heart, on that gal of mine
You can here my hammer, you can hear my saw
Gonna sing it like John Henry all day long Lord, Lord
Gotta do my time, I
It's the last country tear in the last cold
Beer it's the last country song that survive
There will be no more mandolins and banjos
That St John has torn
(Big John Big John) Big Bad John (Big John)
Then came the day at the bottom of the mine
When a timber cracked and men started cryin'
Miners were prayin'
learn to parley, I've had a hard day
Fuck around with the Don and get John Blazed
J-J-J-John Blaze
Ja-Ja-ah-John Bla-Blaze
J-Ja-J-Ja, John Blaze
A woolly man adorned in disarray
A man who got his feet wet for the glory of the Lord
John the Baptist was a chosen man
His voice called from
The doctors put to rest their scientific test
And they named me John Doe No. 24
And they all shook their heads in pity
For a world so silent and dark
When I was a young man (as all good tales begin)
I was taught to hold out my hand
And for my pay I worked an honest day
and took what pittance I
To the River of Jordan our Savior went one day
And we read that John the Baptist met Him there
And when John baptized Jesus in Jordan's rushing
John and Mitchy were gettin' kind of itchy
Just to leave the folk music behind
Zal and Denny workin' for a penny
Tryin' to get a fish on the line
on those boardwalk days
That pretty buzzed look on her face
And it fades away just like a seaside tan
And hearts drawn in the sand
Sit out on the St. Johns
John, hé, John!
It's been a hard day's night
Hé, Johnny, Johnny, John!
Hé, John!
Lá-lá-lá ... (a Hey Jude dallamára)
Hé, John, Johnny,
bodies supple
And now they kiss goodnight, but tomorrow they'll be thinking
All day long, all day long
Geraldine and John
See the happy couple, so
love to go cruising in my John Deere
Up in the morning work all day
The Jobs never easy but neither the pay
The Sheep need herding and my dogs ran
second hand
One someone used before
And after every fishing trip
My father always swore
That someday he would save enough
To go to St. John's town
tiger teeth in my talisman
St. John The Conqueror and a black cat bone
Been seen walkin' with the Guardians
Now I'm in the alley and I'm all alone
Look out
People used to call me backwards
Livin' out here with the tractors,
Lettin' this world leave me behind
Now-a-days I'm an innovator
I'm
down in fate
Nothings gonna be the same
And everything you know
Keep inside your soul
Tonight I'm gonna be John Wayne
Oh yeah
Our colder days are
that way
Since I was a kid I've felt this way
I fell, hook, line and sinker.
Gone Fishin' Yeah
St John's River runs north not south
Smart enough
sorrow
And half in fear the day
Would find the soldiers breaking through
To drag us all away
And just before the sunrise
I heard something
Babe on the day he was placed on the way
No place for the myself away from all
Bye friend last time I say I love you oh my
Years later john have
and life going on
The promise of morning
The long days of summer
Warm nights of loving her beneath the bright stars
I'm just an old cowboy from high
what did you say
Walking in Jerusalem, just like John
I'll meet you there on the crowning day
Walking in Jerusalem, just like John
I want to be ready
I
This song appears on four albums, and was first released on the Autograph Album, and has also been released on the Greatest Hits Vol 3, John Denver
