John Martyn - Go Out And Get It Lyrics






I believe in a minute for every man
When he must take notice of the clock and all its hands
If he sees the road leads straight ahead
Got to run on down, never never be afraid
And it's yours, go out and get it
Don't get wet, please keep dry
Think about the people that made you cry

I know a man, six feet tall
Buckskin jacket, velvet stripes and all
From Boston town, educated well
And he keeps his mind within a padded shell
It's yours, go out and get it
Don't get wet, please keep dry
Think about the people that made you cry

Behind the curtain, upon the shelf
Lives a man, living with himself
Behind his eyes, behind his smile
What's going on, nobody in the world can tell
It's yours, go out and get it
Don't get wet, please keep dry
Think about the people that made you cry

It's yours, go out and get it
Don't get wet, please keep dry
Think about the people that made you cry

    I believe in a minute for every man
    When he must take notice of the clock and all its hands
    If he sees the road leads straight ahead
    Got to run on down, never never be afraid
    And it’s yours, go out and get it
    Don’t get wet, please keep dry
    Think about the people that made you cry.I know a man, six feet tall
    Buckskin jacket, velvet stripes and all
    From Boston town, educated well
    And he keeps his mind within a padded shell
    It’s yours, go out and get it
    Don’t get wet, please keep dry
    Think about the people that made you cry.Behind the curtain, upon the shelf
    Lives a man, living with himself
    Behind his eyes, behind his smile
    What’s going on, nobody in the world can tell
    It’s yours, go out and get it
    Don’t get wet, please keep dry
    Think about the people that made you cry.It’s yours, go out and get it
    Don’t get wet, please keep dry
    Think about the people that made you cry.

    Always loved the drums on this - it's Leavon Helm if I remember rightly?
