Roll on John
Doctor, doctor, tell me the time of day
Another bottle’s empty, another penny spent
He turned around and he slowly walked away
They shot him in the back and down he went
Shine your light
Move it on
You burned so bright
Roll on, John
From the Liverpool docks to the red light Hamburg streets
Down in the quarry with the Quarrymen
Playing to the big crowds, playing to the cheap seats
Another day in the life on your way to your journey’s end
Shine your light
Move it on
You burned so bright
Roll on, John
Sailing through the trade winds bound for the South
Rags on your back just like any other slave
They tied your hands and they clamped your mouth
Wasn’t no way out of that deep, dark cave
Shine your light
Move it on
You burned so bright
Roll on, John
I heard the news today, oh boy
They hauled your ship up on the shore
Now the city gone dark, there is no more joy
They tore the heart right out and cut it to the core
Shine your light
Move it on
You burned so bright
Roll on, John
Put down your bags and get ’em packed
Leave right now, you won’t be far from wrong
The sooner you go, the quicker you’ll be back
You been cooped up on an island far too long
Shine your light
Move it on
You burned so bright
Roll on, John
Slow down, you’re moving way too fast
Come together right now over me
Your bones are weary, you’re about to breathe your last
Lord, you know how hard that it can be
Shine your light
Move it on
You burned so bright
Roll on, John
Roll on John, roll through the rain and snow
Take the right hand road and go where the buffalo roam
They’ll trap you in an ambush ’fore you know
Too late now to sail back home
Shine your light
Move it on
You burned so bright
Roll on, John
Tyger, tyger, burning bright
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
In the forest of the night
Cover him over, and let him sleep
Shine your light
Move it on
You burned so bright
Roll on, John
前进约翰

医生,医生,告诉我现在什么时辰
又一瓶酒干掉,又一便士花掉
他转过身,他缓缓走去
他们从背后射中他,他倒下去
放射你的光
继续向前
你燃烧得如此明亮
前进啊,约翰
从利物浦码头到汉堡红灯区
与“采石工”一起深入采石场
为大众演,为便宜座儿演
生命中的又一天,你走你的路,去你旅程的终点
放射你的光
继续向前
你燃烧得如此明亮
前进啊,约翰
乘着信风航向南方
你衣衫褴褛就像其他奴隶
他们捆你的手他们封你的嘴
那又深又黑的洞穴没有出路
放射你的光
继续向前
你燃烧得如此明亮
前进啊,约翰
今天我听了新闻,噢天
他们把你的船拖上了岸
现在城市一片黑,再没有欢乐
他们把心扯出来,从中心剖开
放射你的光
继续向前
你燃烧得如此明亮
前进啊,约翰
背起你的行囊,将它收拾好
现在就出发,断不会有错
走得越早,便会回来越早
你被困岛上已经太长时间
放射你的光
继续向前
你燃烧得如此明亮
前进啊,约翰
慢一些啊,你走得太快
现在就过来,到我这里来
你太累了,就快剩最后一口呼吸
主啊,你知道这多么不易
放射你的光
继续向前
你燃烧得如此明亮
前进啊,约翰
前进约翰,穿过那雪和雨
走右边的路去野牛漫游之地
他们会埋伏诱捕你趁你茫然无知
想现在往家赶为时已迟
放射你的光
继续向前
你燃烧得如此明亮
前进啊,约翰
老虎,老虎,燃烧着的火光
求主守护我的灵魂
在黑夜的丛林里
给他盖好,让他安睡
放射你的光
继续向前
你燃烧得如此明亮
前进啊,约翰
