Sandy Denny - John The Gun Lyrics

Font:

Align:

my shadow follows me

Wherever I should chance to go,

John the gun did say.

if you should chance to meet me

As I wander to and fro,

Sad would be your day.

My life is mine and the light did shine

Till the guns they did go through me,

So now I shall never fall.

Ideals of peace are gold which fools have found

Upon the plains of war.

I shall destroy them all.

Chorus

Put away your guns of steel,

Death comes too soon for all.

Your master he may need you soon,

And you must heed his call.

i am the master of the games

That you will hardly ever play,

So I will teach your sons.

And if they should die

Before the evening of their span of days,

Why, then they will die young.

(chorus)

condemn me not,

For always will I play the game of war,

In moonshine or in sun.

And if any cross the path I choose to tread,

Their chances they are poor.

My name is john the gun.

(chorus)
