John the revelator
lundi 21 septembre 2015
Intéressant chant traditionnel d’appel et réponse, connu via d’antiques interprétations de bluesmen.
[call] Who’s that writin’ ? [response] John the Revelator
Tell me who’s that writin’ ? John the Revelator
Tell me who’s that writin’ ? John the Revelator
Wrote the book of the seven seals
[call] Who’s that writin’ ? [response] John the Revelator
Tell me who’s that writin’ ? John the Revelator
Well who’s that writin’ ? John the Revelator
Wrote the book of the seven seals
You know God walked down in the cool of the day
Called Adam by his name
And he refused to answer
Because he’s naked and ashamed
[Repeat verses 1 & 2]
You know Christ had twelve apostles
And three he led away
He said, "Watch with me one hour,
’till I go yonder and pray."
[Repeat verses 1 & 2]
Christ came on Easter morning
Mary and Martha came down to see
He said, "Go tell my disciples
To meet me in Galilee."
[Repeat verses 1 & 2]
