Roll On John Lyrics - Tempest (2 Vinyl Lps + Cd) - Bob Dylan

Doctor, doctor Explaintell me the time of day 

Another bottle's empty, another penny spent 

He turned around and he slowly walked away 

They shot him in the back and down he went 

Shine your light 

Movin' on 

You burned so bright 

Roll on, John 

From the Liverpool docks to the red-light Hamburg streets 

Down in the quarry with the quarrymen 

Playing to the big crowds, playing to the cheap seats 

Another day in the life on your way to your journey's end 

Shine your light 

Movin' on 

You burned so bright 

Roll on, John

Sailin' through the trade winds bound for the South 

Rags on your back just like any other slave 

They tied your hands and they clamped your mouth 

Wasn't no way out of that deep dark cave 

Shine your light 

Movin' on 

You burned so bright 

Roll on, John 

I heard the news today, oh boy 

They hauled your ship up on the shore 

Now the city gone dark, there is no more joy 

They tore the heart right out and cut him to the core 

Shine your light 

Movin' on 

You burned so bright 

Roll on, John 

Photos 

Put on your bags and get 'em packed 

Leave right now, you won't be far from wrong 

The sooner you go the quicker you'll be back 

You've been cooped up on an island far too long 

Shine your light 

Movin' on 

You burned so bright 

Roll on, John 

Slow down you're moving way too fast 

Come together right now over me 

Your bones are weary, you're about to breathe your last 

Lord, you know how hard that it can be 

Shine your light 

Movin' on 

You burned so bright 

Roll on, John 

Roll on, John, roll through the rain and snow 

Take the right-hand road and go where the buffalo roam 

They'll trap you in an ambush before you know 

Too late now to sail back home 

Shine your light 

Movin' on 

You burned so bright 

Roll on, John 

Tyger, tyger burning bright 

I pray the Lord my soul to keep 

In the forests of the night 

Cover 'em over and let him sleep 

Shine your light 

Movin' on 

You burned so bright 

Roll on, John
