John done saw that number, in the air
John done saw that number, in the air
Inculcating John The Baptist,
Preaching in the wilderness
All the children came from east
Came from the east,
For the kingdom of heaven
It ain't for this is he
That was spoken of by the prophecy, yeah
The voice of one
Crying in the wilderness so badly
Stayed away all day Lord
It made him____________insane
John had a raiment of camel hide
and a leather girdle, not his own
John done saw that number, in the air
John done saw that number, in the air
Crying "hooley, hooley, hooley my Lord God, hooley"
Jesus came from Nazarene unto Galilee
To be baptised of John in Jordan
And John said unto Him "Come yourself to me,
I need to be baptised of thee"
And Jesus said unto John "Suffer it to be
Come__________________alright
John done saw that number, in the air
John done saw that number, in the air
Crying "how long, how long,
How long my Lord God, how long."
After Jesus was baptised of John
Straight way out of the water
He looking He saw a dove_____________
And the spirit of God came down and laid a bow on him
And Jesus was carried up into the mountain
To be tempted, all-forsaken
And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights
They tempters came unto him and said
"If Thou be the Son of God, cast thy weight
'Cause he's going to be a burden."
Jesus said unto John
"Get behind me, for it is written
Thou shall not tempt the Lord thy God
But him only thou should obey
John done saw that number, written in the middle of the air
