Country Joe McDonald - Hold On, It's Coming N°2 lyrics

McDonald Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. Picked up a hitchhiker the other day, He said he wasn't going far. He looked so strange I couldn't help myself, I asked, "Please, tell me who you are." He smiled politely and lit a cigarette, The smoke seemed to cast a spell. What happened next I don't understand, Yet it was so strange I can hardly tell. He said, hold on it's coming Hold on it's coming He said, hold on it's very near Hold on it's near He said, hold on it's coming Hold on it's coming He said, hold on it's almost here.Hold on it's almost here My mind seemed to spin and my hands began to tremble, I began talking in tongues. I looked over and his eyes seemed to glow, It was like looking at the sun. I told him everything in just a few moments As if we had stopped time. I felt the great light just as if I were floating, It was truly blowing my mind. He said, hold on it's coming Hold on it's coming He said, hold on it's very near It's very near He said, hold on it's coming Oh, hold on it's coming He said, hold on it's almost here.Hold on it's almost here And then I was suddenly a child again Holding my father's hand And I watched it from the beginning As I grew from child to man. My friends all came and gathered round me once more, We undid what was done, And when it was over I was driving down the road I looked around and he was gone. He said, hold on it's coming Hold on it's coming He said, hold on it's very near Hold on it's almost here He said, hold on it's coming Hold on it's coming He said, hold on it's almost here.Hold on it's very near He said, hold on it's coming Yeah, it's coming He said, hold on it's very near Hold on it's very near He said, hold on it's coming Hold on it's coming He said, hold on it's almost here.Hold on it's almost here
