Lyrics:
Well I was born too late to be a Rolling Stone
I don't know Jerry Lee I never me John & Yoko
Standin' with a strat, I'm rock 'n' roll's bastard son
stand by it today
John Lee Hooker for president
When I was 25 and so full of life
John Lee took me by the hand
In a GTO we did go into the fiery
the punch
Had he a hunch, he could get set up like one Cosby
Slidin' off of three snowflakes like John Bosley
Remember Charlie's Angels?
They had to make
fell to thinking about the brand new wife of mad John Finn
Well, midnight came and clock did strike
And in she came, did John Finn's wife
With legs
fell to thinking about the brand new wife of mad John Finn
Well, midnight came and clock did strike
And in she came, did John Finn's wife
With legs
songs in my ear
Don't want a John Doe on a John Deere
Not a John Doe on a John Deere
Well she packed her things and left this town
And I kept
me
Sister well I declare
Have you seen the like
Their walls are built of cannon balls
Their motto is don't tread on me
Come hear uncle john's
girl was the cause of it all
Well, he's riding in the shadow by the St. Joe ridge
Hearing the click-clack tapping of a blind man's cane
He was
, John, he's long gone
Gone to Indiana, ain't never coming home
He's sitting in a sycamore in St. John's wood
Soaking day-old bread in kerosene
Well, he
survive.
Keep smiling, John!
We'll both make it there tomorrow but today lets say
we're lucky we're alive.
We won't make it there tomorrow,
but today let's
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
songs in my ear
Don't want a John Doe on a John Deere
Not a John Doe on a John Deere
Well she packed her things and left this town
And I kept
from wrong
I’ve been a hanging ‘round here way too long
Dodgin' and a divin', payin' my music dues
Twelve bars like this I’ll be gone
Like John Lee
to agree
I'm as fickle as a paper doll
Being kicked by the wind
When I touch down again
I'll be in someone else's arms
Oh, John, come on
We'll do
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
of the Universe
Creator of all forgive us our sins
Dear John forgive us our sins, dear John
You ask me why I love her? Well give me time
I'll explain have you ever
who's that writin') John the Revelator
Wrote the book of the seven seals
Look, God walked down the hill one day
Called Adam by his dame
And Adam
not a divorcee (yeah)
And everything I do is funky like Lee Dorsey
Well it's the taking of the Pelham 1, 2, 3
If you want a doody rhyme, then come
not a divorcee (yeah)
And everything I do is funky like Lee Dorsey
Well it's the taking of the Pelham 1, 2, 3
If you want a doody rhyme, then come
not a divorcee (yeah)
And everything I do is funky like Lee Dorsey
Well it's the taking of the Pelham 1, 2, 3
If you want a doody rhyme, then come
Lost john thought he'd have to ride the top
Well, he's long, long, lost john
Yeah, long, long, lost john.
Well, lost john standing by the railroad
the body)

Hook:
[Queen
chin
Before I leave this town oh
Well he grabbed a grey goose by the neck
Throwed a duck up across his back
And he did not mind the quack quack quack
Anna Lee, Anna Lee, the healer
Healer with the healing hands
Makes you well as quick as she can
You'd love to see those smiling eyes
Of Anna Lee
