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 seven seals
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 seven seals
You know God walked down in the cool of the day
And called Adam by his name
And he refused to answer
Because he was naked and ashamed
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 seven seals
You know Christ had twelve apostles
And three he laid away
He said: Watch with me one hour
While I go yonder and pray
Tell me 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 seven seals
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 seven seals
Christ came on Easter morning
Mary Margaret was down to see
Go tell my disciples
To meet me in Galilee
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 seven seals
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 seven seals
