about

dedicated to the Howlin Tumbleweeds

lyrics

flatboat john was a good disciple
(whoa devil, tremble now)
sat on a stump for to write his bible
(satan get behind me)

God made liquor from the jordan stream
took one sip and it burned me clean
God rose up and hollered my name
fished my soul out the ponchartrain

holy holy, blood and wine
split this rock i'm standing on
i've got more blood than i've got time
won't you take my hand, apostle john
lift me up, apostle john

way back yonder by the coal boat stack
i burnt my wings and bust my back
but God made a place for to hide my soul
a broke-neck bottle on the glory road

(holy holy, blood and wine)

i've seen the end of you and me
inside a mile from the burning tree
flatboat john was a good disciple
sang so fine while he cleaned his rifle

(holy holy, blood and wine)
