Mr. John Lee Revisited |
| Mr. John Lee what is happening to me |
| Last time I saw you |
| Bringing fire wood into your house |
| From a tree |
| But I didn’t love you |
| Quite as much |
| As sweet Marie |
| The sherriff he never |
| Had to come |
| To wade through the water |
| Swamps |
| And some strange mystery |
| To find Marie |
| Me clad in Velveteen |
| Red lips and high heeled shoes |
| I carried you |
| Your weight for a long time |
| Through years and towns and took refuge |
| And I carried your weight upon mine |
| Marie got married |
| To a man |
| And I found your footsteps |
| In summer lands |
| To your lady |
| Marie has a daughter |
| And a new city now |
| And your skin is soft and tired |
| From the years |
| But your happy now |
| Me clad in Velveteen |
| Red lips and high heeled shoes |
| I carried you |
| Your weight for a long time |
| Through years and towns and took refuge |
| And I carried your weight upon mine |
| Mr. John Lee |
| What is happening to me |
| Last time I saw you |
| Bringing firewood into your house |
| From a tree |
