- Lightnin’ Hopkins - Happy Blues For John Glenn Lyrics
- Uploaded by LOVE4LYRICS at Pastebin.com
- People I was sittin' this mornin' with this on my mind
- Said there ain't no livin' man who gone around the world three time
- But John Glenn did
- Yes he did
- He did it, I'm talkin' about him
- Only did it for fun
- Half a million dollars made him feel so well
- He got to eatin' his lunch and couldn't hardly tell
- He said I feel all right
- John Glenn said it
- Everybody was laughin'
- And dipped in the gritty
- It was a million prayer went up
- Prayin' that he would land
- I looked at a schoolhouse full of men and they didn't know what to say
- But they said "Let him come back, God
- Please let him land
- You know that's the onliest man ever did it
- And you're the helpin' hand"
- I see'd him when he left but I didn't see him when he land
- But I knowed he was doin' all right when they said it is OK to give him a great big hand
- He'll be in on the ship
- They say he's on deck
- His mother say I know my son gonna make it, it ain't never been no mistake
- You know I wanna tell you somethin', this ain't lyin'
- You know that man must had on his mind flyin'
- It ain't nobody will take that for his tryin',
- unless they gonna build him his own self airplane and they gonna go flyin'
- They told him "Don't worry, this is true
- You may miss me for a few minutes but I'll be back to see about you" - He did!
- Yes he did
- Yes when he done it, didn't know what had happened the helicopter say -
- You know they tested that boy's body, even test his heart
- They knowed he was all right when he was gettin' to start
- I mean he's made it!
- He went around the world three times
- You know he went and got him an airplane,
- and he made up and had it on his mind
- That's what he had on his mind
- He didn't have no kid and he didn't have no digs [?]
- He just had it in his mind flyin'
