Lyrics John the Gun (Live From Sydney Opera House / 1974) - Fairport Convention
My
shadow
follows
me
Wherever
I
should
chance
to
go
John,
The
Gun
did
say
"If
you
should
chance
to
meet
me
As
I
wander
to
and
fro
Sad
would
be
your
day"
My
life
is
mine
and
the
light
did
shine
Till
the
guns
they
did
go
through
me
So
now
I
shall
never
fall
Ideals
of
peace
are
gold
Which
fools
have
found
Upon
the
plains
of
war
I
shall
destroy
them
all
Put
away
your
guns
of
steel
Death
comes
too
soon
for
all
Your
Master
He
may
need
you
soon
And
you
must
heed
His
call
I
am
the
master
of
the
games
That
you
will
hardly
ever
play
So
I
will
teach
your
sons
And
if
they
should
die
Before
the
evening
of
their
span
of
days
Why,
then
they
will
die
young
Put
away
your
guns
of
steel
Death
comes
too
soon
for
all
Your
Master
He
may
need
you
soon
And
you
must
heed
His
call
I
am
the
master
of
the
games
That
you
will
hardly
ever
play
So
I
will
teach
your
sons
And
if
they
should
die
Before
the
evening
of
their
span
of
days
Why,
then
they
will
die
young
Condemn
me
not
For
always
will
I
play
the
game
of
war
In
moonshine
or
in
sun
And
if
any
cross
the
path
I
choose
to
tread
Their
chances
they
are
poor
My
name
is
John
The
Gun
Put
away
your
guns
of
steel
Death
comes
too
soon
for
all
Your
Master
He
may
need
you
soon
And
you
must
heed
His
call
I
am
the
master
of
the
games
That
you
will
hardly
ever
play
So
I
will
teach
your
sons
And
if
they
should
die
Before
the
evening
of
their
span
of
days
Why,
then
they
will
die
young
