Johnny took the 4:05 and he rode it
|
Rode it down the line
|
He did not know that the ghost of Charlie Christian
|
Was riding too
|
|
That's when he got the feeling
|
Felt his soul and spirit rise
|
Closed his eyes and saw a vision
|
And he was sanctified
|
|
He said,
|
"I have heard a calling
|
I have heard a calling
|
I have heard it in the night
|
And I stood under the light of the calling."
|
|
Somebody brushed him on the shoulder
|
He felt a chill run right down his spine
|
He did not know that the ghost of Charlie Christian
|
was riding too
|
(riding too)
|
|
But that's when he got the feeling
|
[With?] the music coming up from the back
|
Heard the sound of fingers on steel
|
And a wheel upon a track
|
|
He said,
|
"I have heard a calling
|
I have heard a calling
|
I have heard it in the night
|
And I stood under the light of the calling."
|
|
He said,
|
"I have heard a calling
|
I can heard a calling
|
Like a priest or a missionary
|
I am only following the calling."
|
|
Following the calling....
