Sandy Denny - John The Gun Lyrics

Send "John The Gun" ringtone to your cell

''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 the light did shine

Till 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.''

(chorus)
