tell me who's that writin'

maybe your mother went down to see it
gotta tell my disciples to meet me in galilee

john the revelator
tell me who's that writin'

[Original Lyrics]

Tell me who's that writin',
John the Revelator.
Tell me who's that writin',
John the Revelator.
Who's that writin',
John the Revelator wrote the book of the seven seals.

Now God walked down in the cool of the day,
And called Adam by his name.
But he refused to answer, 'cause he was naked and ashamed.
So, tell me who's that writin',
John the Revelator.
Tell me who's that writin',
John the Revelator.
Who's that writin',
John the Revelator wrote the book of the seven seals.

Now Christ had 12 apostiles,
And three he laid away
He said "Watch for me one hour,
while I go yonder and pray."

And tell me who's that writin',
John the Revelator.
Tell me who's that writin',
John the Revelator.
Who's that writin',
John the Revelator wrote the book of the seven seals.

Mary Margaret they were there,
And they heard every word he said.
Said "Go tell my desciples, I said meet me in Galilee"
And tell me who's that writin',
John the Revelator.
Tell me who's that writin',
John the Revelator.
Who's that writin',
John the Revelator wrote the book of the seven seals.

Who's that writin',
John the Revelator.
Tell me who's that writin',
John the Revelator.
Who's that writin',
John the Revelator wrote the book of the seven seals
