John Henry Bosworth - Noel Paul Stookey[00:00:00]

Written by：Noel Paul Stookey[00:00:01]

John Henry Bosworth late in 68[00:00:12]

Decided that the time had come to settle his estate[00:00:18]

The riots of the summer were creeping into fall[00:00:25]

So he packed his family in the car[00:00:30]

And chose to leave it all[00:00:34]

Out on the open road with his elbow in the breeze[00:00:37]

He pulled his woman to him[00:00:43]

And he gave her heart a squeeze[00:00:46]

With a song that he'd been singing[00:00:49]

And they waved to the people that they passed[00:00:55]

All along the highway they went winging[00:01:01]

Headed for their paradise at last[00:01:08]

John Henry Bosworth's family on the farm[00:01:17]

Elizabeth is sitting knitting from a ball of yarn[00:01:23]

Koolaid's in the kitchen Button's up in her bed[00:01:28]

And John he takes a long pull on his pipe[00:01:34]

And lays his head back in the easy chair[00:01:38]

With the Good Book in his hand[00:01:43]

He close his eyes and thank the Lord[00:01:46]

For making him a lucky man[00:01:49]

With a song that he'd been singing[00:01:51]

And they waved to the people that they passed[00:01:57]

All along the highway they were winging[00:02:03]

Headed for their paradise at last[00:02:10]

John Henry Bosworth 1984[00:02:43]

The city's dead[00:02:49]

The sky is red[00:02:50]

And there's a knock upon the door[00:02:52]

Every piece of Scripture every prayer he prayed[00:02:55]

Had brought him to this moment[00:03:01]

Of this particular day[00:03:03]

Open the doors he cried[00:03:07]

Let the brothers and the sisters inside[00:03:10]

I got everything to give now and nothing left to hide[00:03:13]

With a song that he'd been singing[00:03:18]

And they waved to the people that they passed[00:03:24]

All along the highway they'd been winging[00:03:30]

Headed for their paradise at last[00:03:36]

And I was wondering if you had been to the mountain[00:04:08]

To look at the valley below[00:04:15]

Did you see all the roads tangled down in the valley[00:04:20]

Did you know which way to go[00:04:27]

Oh the mountain stream runs pure and clear[00:04:31]

And I wish to my soul I could always be here[00:04:37]

But there's a reason for living way down in the valley[00:04:43]

That only the mountain knows[00:04:49]
