( tune “Clementine”, 8 verses)

Stuck to-ge-ther, tight as glue.

Got some coun-sel, ‘bout a girl friend
From his fu-ture, wife Gi-ni
3. John went on to, Cov’nant col-lege
Chat-a-noo-ga, without the “choo”
Climbed a tow-er, psy-chic pow-er
Gra-du-a-ted, with a view

Showed his tal-ents, quite a few
