lyrics

I had one once
But the wheels fell off
So I said to old king John

You take the umbrella
I’ll walk in the rain
But it was rabbit season

The deer were falling
Out of the trees
And I fell in a hole

So here I am
Just a short lullaby
To my cousin old king John

I climbed out
With a bottle and a shout
And tapped em right on the nose

God be damned,
all his castles are sand
He’s a sheep wearing wolf man clothes

Please understand
I’m a company man
With the light of true reason

If you take my hand
We will map out a plan
And rattle old king John

See I once was whole
But the days grew cold
And the people lost their way

They took their pills
And took to the hills
Like a fox on judgment day

In gold fall weather
Soft as a feather
Sing together this song

Break bread and share
It’s more than a prayer
Remember old king John
