Old John the baptist, old John divine 
Leather harness round his line 
His meat was locust and honey 
Wild honey lord, wild honey 

John saw that number 
Way in the middle of the air 
Cryin' holy, holy to the Lord 

Old John the baptist, old John divine 
Frogs and snakes are gonna get John this time 
God told the angel "go see about John" 
So he flew from the pit with the moon round his waist 
Gathered wind in his fists so the stars round his wrists 
Cryin' holy, holy to the lord 

Read the revelations, you'll find him there 
Third chapter, fourth verse where he said unto me 
"There's a beast that rose out of the sea" 
Ten crowns, ten crowns 
On his horns write "blasphemy" 
John couldn't read it (John couldn't read it) 
Get on repeat it 
John couldn't read it 
Holy, holy to the Lord 

There was a man, a pharisee 
Who came by night to meet him 
Said "I know thy teacher came from God cause no man can do such miracles 
Without the lord to entreat him" 
God told the angel "go see about John" 
So he flew from the pit with the moon round his waist 
Gathered wind in his fists and the stars round his wrists 
Cryin' holy, holy to the Lord 
Holy, holy to the Lord 
Holy, holy to the Lord...
