John Brown Lyrics - Honeydogs

Can you see a king 

Suspend all disbelief 

Walking through the bad part of town 

Can you turn the other cheek 

Can you forget that you were chattel 

Bones in our closet always rattle 

Caught in a steel trap 

Memory serves, it's never gonna pass 

Old John Brown 

Can we keep from goin' down 

Old John Brown 

Can we keep from goin' down 

A zealous one, born too soon 

Could he see his city on a hill ruins 

Caught in a steel trap 

Memory serves, it's never gonna pass 

Old John Brown 

Can we keep from goin' down 

Old John Brown 

Can we keep from goin' down 

Can you pray 

Can you take that walk 

From Harper's Ferry to Little Rock 

Old John Brown 

Can we keep from goin' down 

Old John Brown 

Can we keep from goin' down
