I JOHN
(George McFadden - William Johnson - Ted Brooks)
« © '71 Blackhawk Music, BMI »
Oh well I John saw a mighty number (a movin') way up in the middle of the air
Oh well I John saw a mighty number (a movin') way up in the middle of the air
Oh well I John saw a mighty number...
Oh there were three gates in the east
(And there were) three gates in the west (let me tell you bout)
Three gates in the north (hallelujah there were) three gates in the south
(Well that makes) twelve gates to the city all square wide hallelujah
Oh well I John saw a mighty number...
Well old John declared he saw a man
He had twelve bright stars in his right hand
Well his eyes flashed fire like a burnin' sun old
John got scared and he wanted to run
Well he wanted to run but his feet wouldn't go
Cause his conscience cuttin' like a two edged sword
And he heard a voice that said John you take a look
And read what you see and you write it in a book
He saw twelve angels in the east
(And there were) twelve angels in the west (hallelujah brother)
Twelve angels in the north (well) twelve angels in the south
(That's a total of) forty eight angels to the city twelve square miles hallelujah
Oh well I John saw a mighty number (a movin') way up in the middle of the air
Oh well I John saw a mighty number (a movin') way up in the middle of the air
