Mr. John Lee (Revisited) Lyrics
Mr. John Lee, what is happening to me?
Last time I saw you bringing firewood into your house from a tree
But I didn't love you quite as much as sweet Marie
Sharing ??? to wade through the water, swamps and some strange mystery
To find Marie
Me clad in velveteen, red lips and high heeled shoes
I carried you, your weight for a long time, for years
And thousands took refuge and I carried your weight on mine
Marie got married to a man
And I found your footsteps in summer lands
To your lady
Marie has a daughter in a new city now
And just skin is soft and tired from the years
So happy now
Me clad in velveteen, red lips and high heeled shoes
I carried you, your weight for a long time, for years
And thousands took refuge and I carried your weight upon mine
Mr. John Lee, what is happening to me?
The last time I saw you bringing firewood into your house from a tree
Last time I saw you bringing firewood into your house from a tree
But I didn't love you quite as much as sweet Marie
Sharing ??? to wade through the water, swamps and some strange mystery
To find Marie
I carried you, your weight for a long time, for years
And thousands took refuge and I carried your weight on mine
And I found your footsteps in summer lands
To your lady
Marie has a daughter in a new city now
And just skin is soft and tired from the years
So happy now
I carried you, your weight for a long time, for years
And thousands took refuge and I carried your weight upon mine
The last time I saw you bringing firewood into your house from a tree
