Happy Blues For John Glenn Lyrics - Lightnin' Hopkins

People I was sittin' this mornin' with this on my mind 

Said there ain't no livin' man who gone around the world three time 

But John Glenn did 

Yes he did 

He did it, I'm talkin' about him 

Only did it for fun 

Half a million dollars made him feel so well 

He got to eatin' his lunch and couldn't hardly tell 

He said I feel all right 

John Glenn said it 

Everybody was laughin' 

And dipped in the gritty 

It was a million prayer went up 

Prayin' that he would land 

I looked at a schoolhouse full of men and they didn't know what to say 

But they said "Let him come back, God 

Please let him land 

You know that's the onliest man ever did it 

And you're the helpin' hand" 

I see'd him when he left but I didn't see him when he land 

But I knowed he was doin' all right when they said it is OK to give him a great big hand 

He'll be in on the ship 

They say he's on deck 

His mother say I know my son gonna make it, it ain't never been no mistake 

You know I wanna tell you somethin', this ain't lyin' 

You know that man must had on his mind flyin' 

It ain't nobody will take that for his tryin', 

unless they gonna build him his own self airplane and they gonna go flyin' 

They told him "Don't worry, this is true 

You may miss me for a few minutes but I'll be back to see about you" - He did! 

Yes he did 

Yes when he done it, didn't know what had happened the helicopter say - 

You know they tested that boy's body, even test his heart 

They knowed he was all right when he was gettin' to start 

I mean he's made it! 

He went around the world three times 

You know he went and got him an airplane,
