Honeydogs - John Brown lyrics

rate me

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

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
