Hey! Get up off your knees

Which one of you is who he claims to be?

Well, they call me John the Baptist, son

A woman in a veil’s got me on the run

She’s a fast kid growing up all wrong

Shaking like a leaf in the golden dawn

Gone with the wind, gone with the moon

Gone like the tar in my silver spoon

Away, gone away

I got a feeling rising in my throat

We didn’t get here on no fishing boat

Hold on!

She might be broke. she might be bent

But she ain’t working for the government

Hold on!

She’s a fast kid growing up all wrong

Shaking like a leaf in the golden dawn

Gone with the wind, gone with the moon

Gone like the tar in my silver spoon

Away, gone away

Gone away

Gone away

Gone away

Gone away
