Folk Singer

Folk Singer

 

You were sweetness with a guitar

A rising rage a shooting star

The rose is pretty with her thorn

We cannot chose the way we are born

 

Folk singer with a folk song

Doing right is never wrong

Keep on going be strong

Folk singer with a folk song

 

A war was raging the country afire

Peace and love such a worthy desire

In fighting history history was made

A pretty nickel you got paid

 

Folk singer with a folk song

Doing right is never wrong

Keep on going be strong

Folk singer with a folk song

 

Well the years they roll on by

We all laugh and we all cry

And there is an answer to ‘why?’

But they only tell you the grand lie

 

Folk singer with a folk song

Doing right is never wrong

Keep on going be strong

Folk singer with a folk song

 

The scenes change but the story stays

It is always the poor man who pays

Alas we all pass naked as we came

All this hate and killing is a shame

 

Folk singer with a folk song

Doing right is never wrong

Keep on going be strong

Folk singer with a folk song

Hey Johnny

 Hey Johnny

 

Everyone who ever strummed the guitar                   

Everyone who spun the story of a star                       

Everyone who hitchhiked the magic mile                  

Hey baby maybe you can still smile?                        

 

Hey Johnny can I play you a song

I wrote it when I was young

I sung it my whole life long

Hey Johnny can I play you a song

 

Hey Mister Johnny you know I can sing

Why are you dreaming of becoming a king?

Hobos take it slow is that coffee hot?

Life’s true blessings so quickly forgot

 

Hey Johnny can I play you a song

I wrote it when I was young

I sung it my whole life long

Hey Johnny can I play you a song

 

Johnny Rotten no that’s really not fair

Even the devil himself resorts to prayer

Tell me maybe baby the love has grown?

The best blues guitarists are unknown

 

Hey Johnny can I play you a song

I wrote it when I was young

I sung it my whole life long

Hey Johnny can I play you a song

 

Sylvia dreams she has no other choice

I hold her hand tight and share my voice

At fifty-seven you tend to look to heaven

I saw Jesus working at the Seven Eleven

 

This train rides to glory some of the time

What if I sung this and they hated my rhyme

On to Venus past Jupitar and Mars

Plenty of music in these guitars

 

Hey Johnny can I play you a song

I wrote it when I was young

I sung it my whole life long

Hey Johnny can I play you a song
