Lyrics
Doctor, doctor, tell me the time of day
Another bottle's empty
Another penny spent
He turned around and he slowly walked away
They shot him in the back and down he went.
Shine your light, move it on, you burn so bright, roll on John
From the Liverpool docks to the red light Hamburg streets
Down in the quarry with the Quarrymen.
Playing to the big crowds Playing to the cheap seats
Another day in your life until your journey's end
Shine your light, move it on, you burn so bright, roll on John.
Sailing through the tradewinds
Bound for the sun
Rags on your back just like any other slave
They tied your hands and they clamped your mouth
Wasn't no way out of that deep dark cave.
Shine your light, move it on, you burn so bright, roll on John
I heard the news today, oh boy
They hauled your ship up on the shore
Now the city's gone dark
There is no more joy
They tore the heart right out and cut it to the core.
Shine your light, move it on, you burn so bright, roll on John
Put on your bags and get ‘em packed.
Leave right now you won't be far from hine
The sooner you go, the quicker you'll be back
You've been cooped up on an island far too long.
Shine your light, move it on, you burn so bright, roll on John
Slow down you're moving too fast
Come together right now over me
Your bones are weary
You're about to breathe your last
Lord, you know how hard that it can be.
Shine your light, move it on, you burn so bright, roll on John
Roll on John, roll through the rain and snow
Take the righthand road and go where the buffalo roam
They'll trap you in an ambush before you know
Too late now to sail back home.
Shine your light, move it on, you burn so bright, roll on John
Tyger, Tyger burning bright
I pray the lord my soul to keep In the forest of the night
Cover him over and let him sleep
Shine your light, move it on, you burn so bright, roll on John.
