[00:00:00] John Henry Bosworth - Noel Paul Stookey

[00:00:01] Written by：Noel Paul Stookey

[00:00:12] John Henry Bosworth late in 68

[00:00:18] Decided that the time had come to settle his estate

[00:00:25] The riots of the summer were creeping into fall

[00:00:30] So he packed his family in the car

[00:00:34] And chose to leave it all

[00:00:37] Out on the open road with his elbow in the breeze

[00:00:43] He pulled his woman to him

[00:00:46] And he gave her heart a squeeze

[00:00:49] With a song that he'd been singing

[00:00:55] And they waved to the people that they passed

[00:01:01] All along the highway they went winging

[00:01:08] Headed for their paradise at last

[00:01:17] John Henry Bosworth's family on the farm

[00:01:23] Elizabeth is sitting knitting from a ball of yarn

[00:01:28] Koolaid's in the kitchen Button's up in her bed

[00:01:34] And John he takes a long pull on his pipe

[00:01:38] And lays his head back in the easy chair

[00:01:43] With the Good Book in his hand

[00:01:46] He close his eyes and thank the Lord

[00:01:49] For making him a lucky man

[00:01:51] With a song that he'd been singing

[00:01:57] And they waved to the people that they passed

[00:02:03] All along the highway they were winging

[00:02:10] Headed for their paradise at last

[00:02:43] John Henry Bosworth 1984

[00:02:49] The city's dead

[00:02:50] The sky is red

[00:02:52] And there's a knock upon the door

[00:02:55] Every piece of Scripture every prayer he prayed

[00:03:01] Had brought him to this moment

[00:03:03] Of this particular day

[00:03:07] Open the doors he cried

[00:03:10] Let the brothers and the sisters inside

[00:03:13] I got everything to give now and nothing left to hide

[00:03:18] With a song that he'd been singing

[00:03:24] And they waved to the people that they passed

[00:03:30] All along the highway they'd been winging

[00:03:36] Headed for their paradise at last

[00:04:08] And I was wondering if you had been to the mountain

[00:04:15] To look at the valley below

[00:04:20] Did you see all the roads tangled down in the valley

[00:04:27] Did you know which way to go

[00:04:31] Oh the mountain stream runs pure and clear

[00:04:37] And I wish to my soul I could always be here

[00:04:43] But there's a reason for living way down in the valley

[00:04:49] That only the mountain knows
