Seems like it was yesterday
my hair was long and blonde
I brought his lunch down to the coal mine, I went to see my John.
He greeted me with tulips, and held me until Dawn
Even in my dreams, it seems, I thought about my John
We stared upon the stars at night and pondered what lay beyond
The brightest star, seen up so far reminded me of John
The dark day the results came back I cried,
I cursed and sobbed
I sped over to his bed side, I went to see my John
I buried him that dreadful day, a piece of me was gone
In the procession in a black vale, I went to see my John
With the noose so tight around my neck
I sang my final song
I dropped and let my body hang
I Went To See My John
