lirik lagu prester john in appalachia – the pine box boys
[verse 1]
a stranger came into these hills singing funny songs
and carrying a christian poem a thousand pages long
he opened up the poem, said his name was prester john
and read right through suppertime and finished up at dawn
[chorus]
prester john in appalachia, come to baptize you and me
in the mighty diamond river, in the land beyond the sea
he carried christ before him from the day that he was born
and i loved to hear him preach, and i loved to share his corn
[verse 2]
he went up on king mountain there to share his christian poem
to those who whipped up ferguson and sent the brits back home
he’d get the folk all in a frenzy every sunday morn
and they’d pay him every sunday night with liquor made of corn
[chorus]
prester john in appalachia, come to baptize you and me
in the mighty diamond river, in the land beyond the sea
he carried christ before him from the day that he was born
and i loved to hear him preach, and i loved to share his corn
[verse 3]
the day he left the mountain, you know something in us died:
the womenfolk looked real sad, the men stood around and cried
that sunday morning came along and everyone looked blue
for he took with him innocence, and all our whisky too
[chorus]
prester john in appalachia, come to baptize you and me
in the mighty diamond river, in the land beyond the sea
he carried christ before him from the day that he was born
and i loved to hear him preach, and i loved to share his corn
prester john in appalachia, come to baptize you and me
in the mighty diamond river, in the land beyond the sea
he carried christ before him from the day that he was born
and i loved to hear him preach, and i loved to share his corn
