Poor St. John - Jam in the Van, Joe Marson

Well he was a man

O' he was a good man

He was out of his mind but deep down inside

O' he was a good man

O' he read the book

Well he read the good book

Well the ones he would find were the devil’s lines

But he read the good book

O' he’s gone

So long

Yes he’s gone

Poor st.

john

Down the stairs made of stone

Was blood next to bone

Only heaven, heaven can wait

O' he’s gone

So long

Yes he’s gone

Poor st.

john

Well he worked hard

I heard he worked real hard

He would sleep during the day but at night he’d wake

And boy he’d work real hard

O' he’s gone

So long

Yes he’s gone

Poor st.

john
