Song information On this page you can read the lyrics of the song John The Gun , by - Sandy Denny. Song from the album The North Star Grassman and The Ravens, in the genre Фолк-рокJohn The Gun |
| «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 light did shine |
| 'til 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.» |
| Oh, 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 |
