Happy Blues for John Glenn

Happy Blues for John Glenn - Lightnin' Hopkins

Written by：Hopkins

People I was sitting this morning with this on my mind

Said there ain't no living man who gone around the world three times

John Glenn done it yes he did

He did it I'm talking about him only did it for fun

Half a million dollars made him feel so well

He got to eating his lunch and couldn't hardly tell

He said I feel all right John Glenn said it

Everybody was laughing and dipped in the gritty

It was a million prayer went up praying that he would land

I looked at a school house full of men

And they didn't know what to say

But they said let him come back god please let him land

You know that's the onliest man ever did it and you're the helping hand

I'm gonna turn out to be one

I see him when he left but I didn't see him when he land

But I know he was doing all right when they said it is okay

To give him a great big hand

He'll be in on the ship they say he's on deck

His mother say I know my son gonna make it

It ain't never been no mistake

You know I gonna tell you something this ain't lying

You know that man must had on his mind flying

It ain't nobody will take that for his trying unless they gonna build him

His own self airplane and they gonna go flying

They told him don't worry this is true you may miss me

For a few minutes but I'll be back to see about you he did

Yes he did yes when he done it

Didn't know helicopter

You know they tested that boy's body they even test his heart

They know he was all right when he was getting to start

I mean he's made it he went around the world three times

You know he went and got him an airplane

And he made up and had it on his mind

That's what he had on his mind

He didn't have no kid and he didn't have no digs

He just had it on his mind flying
