A Singer's Request Lyrics - Singles - John Wesley Harding

Dark the night and long til day 

Do not bid us further stray 

Dark the night and long til day 

Do not bid us further stray 

Now the sun it does decline 

Pour the beer and pour the wine 

Let us lead your thoughts astray 

From the world and from the day 

Dark the night and long til day 

Do not bid us further stray 

We bring songs from history 

Love and war and mystery 

We can lead you from despair 

Or can chill the darkening air 

Dark the night and long til day 

Do not bid us further stray 

And you can choose to pass us by 

With a cruel or a scornful eye 

We shall see the ending through 

Then we'll turn and say to you 

Dark the night and long til day 

Do not bid us further stray 

Dark the night and long til day 

Do not bid us further stray 

Dark the night and long til day 

Do not bid us further stray
