I got a present
From an American friend
It was a candle
With the picture of a king
He said, "Put it by your bedside
Light it at the right time
Boy, you won't regret it."
And I say, oh my my
Oh my my
I feel like High John the Conqueror's bringing me strength
I was worried
Felt she was ready to move
She was unsure of me
I had nothing to lose
I felt his hand through the fire
Take me away
Put me into her heart
Now all she can say is
Oh my my
Oh my my
I feel like High John the Conqueror's bringing me strength
