Blue John's Blues Lyrics - Singles - Barclay James Harvest

Mystery is following me down that lonesome road 

And I don't know my way, my way back home 

There's someone on my shoulder and he will not share a load 

And I don't know my way, my way back home 

There's a certain something deep inside 

Like a rolling sea or a river wide 

As the orchestra starts playing 

Get down Joe 

You can see his face, you can feel his smile 

Yeah, look down low and let the tears run wild 

When the orchestra starts playing 

Blue John's Blues 

Think about me, girl, and the things I ain't said 

I could not be sad, thinkin' 'bout the things that you do 

While the folks around me sing on 

Blue John's Blues 

Band is swinging, people singing 

Get down Joe 

There's a place down home where people meet 

They clap their hands and they stamp their feet 

When the music starts and the band plays 

Get down Joe 

They sing out loud and they sing out clear 

Turn your head round girl and you might just hear 

And if you do then start down singing 

Blue John's Blues 

Think about me, girl, and the things I ain't said 

I could not be sad, thinkin' 'bout the things that you do 

While the folks around me sing on 

Blue John's Blues 

Band is swinging, people singing 

Get down Joe 

Take hold of John's blues (?) 

Must be a thousand hues (?) 

Blue John's Blues 

Get back Joe 

Take back all of your dough 

You've got no place to go 

Blue John's Blues 

Get back now Joe 

My sweetest girl that I ever had 

She's drive any poor man bad 

Blue John's Blues 

Well my Ma and my Papa said, Son 

You'll get the KB when you're not on the run (?) 

Blue John's Blues 

Well my lady and me we're gonna dance all night 

Yeah yeah we're gonna dance until the broad broad light 

Blue John's Blues 

The sweetest girl that I ever had 

Was guaranteed to drive a poor man bad 

Blue John's Blues 

Blue John Blues 

Get back Joe 

Lord, get back Joe
