Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tell me who's that writin'? John the Revelator
Tell me who's that writin'? John the Revelator
Tell me who's that writin'? John the Revelator
Wrote the book of the seventh seal
[Verse 2]
Who's that writin'? John the Revelator
Tell me who's that writin'? John the Revelator
Well, who's that writin'? John the Revelator
Wrote the book of the seventh seal
[Verse 3]
You know God walked down in the cool of the day
Called Adam by his name
And he refused to answer
Because he's naked and ashamed
[Verse 4]
Who's that writin'? John the Revelator
Who's that writin'? John the Revelator
Who's that writin'? John the Revelator
Wrote the book of the seventh seal
[Verse 5]
You know Christ had twelve apostles
And three he led away
Said, "Watch with me one hour
Till I go yonder and pray"
[Verse 6]
Tell me who's that writin'? Revelator
Tell me who's that writin'? John the Revelator
Who's that writin'? John the Revelator
Wrote the book of the seventh seal
[Verse 7]
Who's that writin'? John the Revelator
Tell me who's that writin'? John the Revelator
Who's that writin'? John the Revelator
Wrote the book of the seventh seal
[Verse 8]
Christ came on Easter morning
Mary and Martha they was down to see
"Go tell my disciples
To meet me in Galilee"
[Verse 9]
Tell me who's writin'? John the Revelator
Tell me who's that writin'? John the Revelator
Tell me who's that writin'? John the Revelator
Wrote the book of the seventh seal
[Verse 10]
Who's that writin'? John the Revelator
Who's that writin'? John the Revelator
Tell me who's that writin'? John the Revelator
Wrote the book of the seventh seal
Written by: John Landis, Son House, Tom Waits
