Oh, John the Baptist, oh, John divine
Leather harness ‘round his life
His meat was locust and honey, wild honey, lone wild honey

John saw that number
Way in the middle of the air
Runnin' holy, holy to the Law

Oh, John the Baptist, oh, John divine
Frogs and snakes can eat John this time
God told the angel, “Go and see about John”
So he flew from the peak with the moon ‘round his waist
He had the wind in his fists and the stars ‘round his wrists
Crying “Holy, holy to the Law”

Read the Revelations, you'll find him there
The chapter for the first, where he said unto me
There's a beast that rose out of the sea
Ten crowns, ten crowns
And his horns write blasphemy

John couldn't read it (John couldn't read it)
Can I repeat it?
John couldn't read it
Holy, holy to the Law

(One, two, three, four)
(One, two)

Was a man of Pharisee
Who came by now to meet him
Said, I know that teacher came from God ‘cause no man could do
Such miracles, without the Lord, without the Lord
To entreat him

God told the angel, “Go and see about John”
So he flew from the pit with the moon ‘round his waist
He had the wind in his fists and the stars ‘round his wrists
Crying “Holy, holy to the Law”

Holy, holy to the Law

Holy, holy to the Law
Holy, holy to the Law
Holy, holy to the Law
Holy, holy to the Law
Holy, holy to the Law

Holy, holy to the Law
