People I was sittin' this mornin' with this on my mind Said there ain't no livin' man who gone around the world three time But John Glenn did Yes he did He did it, I'm talkin' about him Only did it for fun Half a million dollars made him feel so well He got to eatin' his lunch and couldn't hardly tell He said I feel all right John Glenn said it Everybody was laughin' And dipped in the gritty It was a million prayer went up Prayin' that he would land I looked at a schoolhouse full of men and they didn't know what to say But they said "Let him come back, God Please let him land You know that's the onliest man ever did it And you're the helpin' hand" I see'd him when he left but I didn't see him when he land But I knowed he was doin' all right when they said it is OK to give him a great big hand He'll be in on the ship They say he's on deck His mother say I know my son gonna make it, it ain't never been no mistake You know I wanna tell you somethin', this ain't lyin' You know that man must had on his mind flyin' It ain't nobody will take that for his tryin', Unless they gonna build him his own self airplane and they gonna go flyin' They told him "Don't worry, this is true You may miss me for a few minutes but I'll be back to see about you" - He did! Yes he did Yes when he done it, didn't know what had happened the helicopter say - You know they tested that boy's body, even test his heart They knowed he was all right when he was gettin' to start I mean he's made it! He went around the world three times You know he went and got him an airplane,
I sincerely hope John Glenn heard and liked this Blues. What a tribute!
Lightnin’ recorded this at ACA Recording Studios in Houston on February 20, 1962! That’s 60 years ago today!
@Nicole H. Do you know who was playing with him?
@@IntheKeyofGg It’s Buster Pickens on piano, Donald Cooks on bass, and Joe Spider Kilpatrick on drums.
Great fucking song. And the best of America
Houston we dont have any problem😊
People I was sittin' this mornin' with this on my mind
Said there ain't no livin' man who gone around the world three time
But John Glenn did
Yes he did
He did it, I'm talkin' about him
Only did it for fun
Half a million dollars made him feel so well
He got to eatin' his lunch and couldn't hardly tell
He said I feel all right
John Glenn said it
Everybody was laughin'
And dipped in the gritty
It was a million prayer went up
Prayin' that he would land
I looked at a schoolhouse full of men and they didn't know what to say
But they said "Let him come back, God
Please let him land
You know that's the onliest man ever did it
And you're the helpin' hand"
I see'd him when he left but I didn't see him when he land
But I knowed he was doin' all right when they said it is OK to give him a great big hand
He'll be in on the ship
They say he's on deck
His mother say I know my son gonna make it, it ain't never been no mistake
You know I wanna tell you somethin', this ain't lyin'
You know that man must had on his mind flyin'
It ain't nobody will take that for his tryin',
Unless they gonna build him his own self airplane and they gonna go flyin'
They told him "Don't worry, this is true
You may miss me for a few minutes but I'll be back to see about you" - He did!
Yes he did
Yes when he done it, didn't know what had happened the helicopter say -
You know they tested that boy's body, even test his heart
They knowed he was all right when he was gettin' to start
I mean he's made it!
He went around the world three times
You know he went and got him an airplane,
RIP John Glenn
Such a solid loud & sharp recording!
Blaze On, you shining master of space. The Cosmos awits, Intrepid Explorer.
I like it, a lot! I hope it was a favorite of John Glenn's.
R.I.P
RIP
What does he say after, "everybody was laughin"?
And they didn't regret it.
