The Hymn of It All (home version) Lyrics by John Lucas

Oh Child of Wonder and Delight

2023

[Verse 1: John Lucas]
\nCoyote mother, can you tell my fortune?
\nCan you tell when my days are through?
\nI still believe in God but I ain't sure about Heaven
\nAnd the snake oil preachers said to stay away from you
\n
\n[Verse 2: John Lucas]
\nCoyote mother can you hold my hand
\nAnd tell me where the lines all lead?
\nWhen death comes close I'll say the prayers
\nAnd I'll give up whiskey and spreading my seed
\n
\n[Refrain: John Lucas]
\nYeah I'll give up whiskey and spreading my seed
\n
\n[Verse 3: Jon Lucas & Erin Williams Banks]
\nAnd you throw your head back but the laugh comes gеntly
\nSon, no one's crystal ball can tell
\nNo one knows thе day or hour
\nCould be a peaceful night or a shotgun shell
\n
\n[Verse 4: Erin Williams Banks & John Lucas and Erin Williams Banks]
\nI've had a swig of death that burned my throat
\nBut I've caught more babies than I can count
\nAnd in that holy flow where is life or death?
\nIt's just the hymn of it all oh come thou fount
\n
\n[Refrain: John Lucas and Erin Williams Banks]
\nIt's just the hymn of it all oh come thou fount
\n
\n[Verse 5: Erin Williams Banks]
\nSo go and drink your whiskey in the front row babe
\nBut do your churching with a mountain view
\nAnd go and find you a darling and tell her you love her
\nShe'll make an honest man of you
\n
\n[Verse 6: Erin Williams Banks & John Lucas and Erin Williams Banks]
\nAnd I'll sing about death at your birthday parties
\nWhen your wedding comes I'll let the wolves all bay
\nWhen your money's gone and you're drunk with sorrow
\nWe'll dance up the dust of heaven's gates
\n
\n[Refrain: John Lucas and Erin Williams Banks]
\nYeah we'll dance up the dust of heaven's gates
\n
\n[Verse 6: John Lucas and Erin Williams Banks]
\nAnd I'll sing about death at your birthday parties
\nWhen your wedding comes I'll let the wolves all bay
\nWhen your money's gone and you're drunk with sorrow
\nWe'll dance up the dust of heaven's gates
\n
\n[Refrain/Outro: John Lucas and Erin Williams Banks]
\nWe'll dance up the dust of heaven's gates\n\n
