Song information On this page you can find the lyrics of the song Country John, artist - Allen Toussaint. Album song The Allen Toussaint Collection, in the genre ДжазCountry John |
| Country John lives his life |
| Mostly working at the mill |
| And other than his wife |
| A single dream is his only thrill |
| Gotta get away, Gotta see the land |
| Gotta see the world, Gotta be a man |
| Gotta get away, Gotta see the land |
| Gotta see the world, Gotta be a man |
| In the evening when the sun begins to fade |
| And work is over, and supper is too |
| A chevy guitar case comes out from underneath the bed |
| And Country John will do his dues |
| Say now! |
| Between the moonshine and the shining of the moon |
| And his sway back a woman by his side |
| And he would soon find that the lining of his tomb |
| From way back was too hard to divide |
| Say now! |
| Gotta get away, Gotta see the land |
| Gotta see the world, Gotta be a man |
| Gotta get away, Gotta see the land |
| Gotta see the world, Gotta be a man |
| All the others and the young folk too |
| Rock with John while he did his dues |
| The moonshine and the shadows through the vine |
| They all rocked with John too |
| Gotta get away, Gotta see the land |
| Gotta see the world, Gotta be a man |
| Gotta get away, Gotta see the land |
| Gotta see the world, Gotta be a man |
