LYRICS,VERSURI:

Tell all the people that you see,
Follow me,
Follow me down,

Tell all the people that you see,
Set them free,
Follow me down,

You tell 'em they don't have to run,
We're gonna pick up everyone,
C'mon take me by my hand,
Gonna bury all our troubles in the sand,
Oh yeah

Can't you see the wonder at your feet,
Your life's complete,
Follow me down,

Can't you see me growing,
Get your guns,
The time has come,
To follow me down,

Follow me across the sea where milking babies seem to be,
Overflowing? revelry with the ones that set them free,
Tell all the people that you see,
It's just me
Follow me down

(guitar solo)

Tell all the people that you see,
Follow me,
Follow me down,

Tell all the people that you see,
Will be free
Follow me down,

Tell all the people that you see,
It's just me,
Follow me down,

Tell all the people that you see,
Follow me,
You gotta follow me down,

Tell all the people that you see,
Will be free,
Follow me down,

Tell all the people you see,
Will be free,
Gotta follow me down...

Uncharacteristic of the Morrison years, but still a great song.
