[00:00.000]My Son John (LP版) - Tom Paxton
[00:02.750]My son John was a good boy and good to me
[00:08.600]When we had hard times well he stood by me
[00:13.780]We were in work and out of work and on the go
[00:19.090]If he had complaints I never heard of one
[00:24.650]He would pitch in and help me like a full grown man
[00:30.490]My son John John my son
[00:42.256]My son John went to college and he made his way
[00:47.916]Had to earn every penny but he paid his way
[00:53.286]He worked summers and holidays and through the year
[00:59.026]And it was no easy struggle that he won
[01:04.356]But he laughed at the ones who thought he had it hard
[01:10.076]My son John John my son
[01:21.336]My son John got his uniform and went away
[01:27.576]With a band playing marches he was sent away
[01:32.766]And he wrote me a letter when he had the time
[01:38.206]He was loosing his buddies one by one
[01:44.166]And I prayed and tried not to read between the lines
[01:49.566]My son John John my son
[01:55.756]My son John came home yesterday; he's here to stay
[02:01.606]Not a word to his father have I heard him say
[02:07.116]He seems glad to be home but I can't be sure
[02:12.696]When I ask him what he'd seen and done
[02:18.386]He went up to his bedroom and he closed the door
[02:24.166]My son John John my son
[02:29.754]He went up to his bedroom and he closed the door
