letra de who bend the rainbow - cannonball adderley
[john henry]
i say, “lord, it’s a fine world you made here
all told, less bad than good
for a quick six-day job
“ain’t your stars wastin’ oil in the daytime?
your sun half the year risin’ late?
your rainbows are gray
and your rivers runnin’ far too straight—
“but don’t fret, lord, just run along to church now
and all that your little world lack
i’ll have fixed forever
by the time that you get back—”
sure he made creation
made the land and sea
he made that snake
that apple tree
but most everything else
was made over by me—
who bend the rainbow?
[children]
john henry!
[john henry]
who shakе the cloud to make the mornin’ dеw?
[children]
it was you!
[john henry]
who paint the sunset?
who blow out the stars when the night is through?
who bit the bite in the oldin’ moon?
who toss the rings on the ringtailed coon?
the one who done it
was one of us three—
[a child]
it wasn’t me!
[second child]

[john henry]
and who tossed the lightnin’ across the stormy sky?
[children]
john henry!
[john henry]
who bend the river so the steamboat blow?
[children]
john henry!
[john henry]
and who wake the sun so the rooster can crow?
the one who done it
was one of us three—
it wasn’t you
it wasn’t you—
oh, it’s easy to deduce
hmm, it must’ve been me! ha ha ha ha ha!
[children]
john henry!
[john henry]

[children]
