Get Up John Songtext
von Emmylou Harris

Well, get up John, go down to Jordan
Get up John, prepare the way
Man from Galilee is waitin′
You must meet him there today

Get up John, go tell my people
This will be a Holy day
Tell them of the Jew that's waiting
That the Saviour′s on the way

John (you've been chosen)
John (go unafraid)
John (I'll go with you)
John The Baptist, this is the day

Well, get up John, go tell Jerusalem
Saviour′s waiting on the shore
Baptize Him in the River of Jordan
I′ll send a dove from Heaven's door


John (you′ve been chosen)
John (go unafraid)
John (I'll go with you)
John The Baptist, this is the day

Well, get up John, your work is finished
Daylight breaks, the soldiers come
You will die for me tomorrow
Welcome home, your race is run

John (you′ve been chosen)
John (go unafraid)
John (I'll go with you)
John The Baptist, this is the day

Where would we be without Bill Monroe
I tell ya, he′s, he's my hero
Alright
Mr. Monroe was in the room when they were putting the make up on the boys
Was putting make up on Sam
And he said that, "I've got some scissors if you need ′em"


Has anybody checked out the
Well, the gift shop′s closed
I wanna say that I checked out, the best item is a Mini pearl fan
And it's a live size picture of Mini′s face
And uh, it has the, the price tag is the same and the price tag on her head
It's kind of a genious, well I liked it, I bought one
It′s in the place of honour in my music room
And it works too, you know
We're gonna do some sort of medly here
