John 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 |
