Blood Sweat Tears John The Baptist Lyrics

John The Baptist Lyrics

(Kooper, Major)







Holy John lives down by the water



Saving sinners and he wants your dollar



Tell the people that they'd better repent



Telling your daughter it was him who was sent



I saw him down there in a long white gown



Taking sinners and holding them down







John, John, won't you wash 'em away



Make us ready for the Judgement Day



Take us down and hold us under



Make the heavens roar with thunder, now







The waters are dirty and the reason is



Holy John had to wash away our sins



Yes he did







He came to town two weeks ago



Didn't take long before everyone did know



Down to the riverside they all did flock



And watch him stand upon the rock



I saw him down there in a long white gown



Taking sinners and holding them down







John, John, won't you wash 'em away



Make us ready for the Judgement Day



Take us down and hold us under



Make the heavens roar with thunder, now







The waters are dirty and the reason is



Holy John had to wash away our sins



Oh yes he did



See that the water's dirty



And everybody knows that the reason is



Holy John has to wash away, wash away, wash away everybodys' sins
