Old man Isaiah spoke of the coming of Messiah
Before that he left his home on high
Matthew's gospel, I heard a man cry
Jesus is born and he surely must die

They called my Lord into the judgement room
They led him on down to the judgement hall
They caught that fellow, the high priest said
They whipped him till the break of day

Hey, John, well, he looked over Calvary's hills, he said
He heard a rumbling like the chariot wheel
Hey, John, what do it mean?
It mean the cruel men are whipping him still

Well, now, who is that writing? Hey, John the Revelator

Hey, John, well, he looked over Calvary's hills, he said
He heard a rumbling like the chariot wheel
Hey, John, what do it mean?

It mean that Gabriel's gonna blow his trumpet soon
The saints gonna rise up to heaven in the clouds
The stars from the heaven will all come down
The dead is gonna rise up from underneath the ground
The sea's gonna boil, and cause a flood
The moon's gonna drip away into blood
The sun's gonna come up and hide her face
The rock's gonna cry out no hiding place

Hey, John, well, he looked over Calvary's hills, he said
He heard a rumbling like the chariot wheel
Hey, John, what do it mean?

It means sight to the blind, the dumb is gonna talk
The lame is gonna pick up his bed and walk
Hey, John, drop that pen
Stop that writing to the dying men
