Lyrics

Well, get up John, go down to Jordan Get up John, prepare the way Man from Galilee is waitin' You must meet him there today Get up John, go tell my people This will be a Holy day Tell them of the Jew that's waiting That the Saviour's on the way John (you've been chosen) John (go unafraid) John (I'll go with you) John The Baptist, this is the day Well, get up John, go tell Jerusalem Saviour's waiting on the shore Baptize Him in the River of Jordan I'll send a dove from Heaven's door John (you've been chosen) John (go unafraid) John (I'll go with you) John The Baptist, this is the day Well, get up John, your work is finished Daylight breaks, the soldiers come You will die for me tomorrow Welcome home, your race is run John (you've been chosen) John (go unafraid) John (I'll go with you) John The Baptist, this is the day Where would we be without Bill Monroe I tell ya, he's, he's my hero Alright Mr. Monroe was in the room when they were putting the make up on the boys Was putting make up on Sam And he said that, "I've got some scissors if you need 'em" Has anybody checked out the Well, the gift shop's closed I wanna say that I checked out, the best item is a Mini pearl fan And it's a live size picture of Mini's face And uh, it has the, the price tag is the same and the price tag on her head It's kind of a genious, well I liked it, I bought one It's in the place of honour in my music room And it works too, you know We're gonna do some sort of medly here
