TV ACRES: My Songs > "Father John" by Jerome A. Holst

(Chorus)	Where are you going, Father John? Where are you going, Father John?
	Fifty year ago you lay Prostrate on the floor And promised to love, serve And adore the Lord Now your time is almost up So your thoughts turn heavenly As you contemplate your life Praying on your rosary
(Chorus)	Where are you going, Father John? Where are you going, Father John?
(Bridge)	Was it worth it? To put on that robe Was it worth it? Now that you're all alone Lying in bed late at night A little black Bible as your only wife
(Chorus)	Where are you going, Father John? Where are you going, Father John?
(Bridge)	Oh, there were opportunities To taste life's flavors and more But you held to your beliefs All temptations abhorred So now you've got some regrets Here's some tea and sympathy You only get one ride Down the road to eternity
(Chorus)	Where are you going Father John? Where are you going Father John?
(Bridge)	Was it worth it? To put on that robe Was it worth it? Now that you're all alone Lying in bed late at night A little black Bible as your only wife
Chorus	Where are you going Father John? Where are you going Father John? (Repeat twice and fade)
