'John Denver'

Many years ago in mid-October Nineteen ninety seven, A faulty aircraft fell to earth Descending down from heaven. The inexperienced pilot's life Was taken at the scene... His name, it was John Denver, A music man supreme. The world was overcome with shock And filled with much despair, John Denver's revered name will always stay in mid-October air. As a poet and great songster With tenor voice like wine, He made music for the millions To last through endless time. A Friend of Earth - Oh hunger not! Just 'follow me where I go', His lyrics were so beautiful With Rocky-mountain flow. He left us on a jet plane 'Take Me Home Country Roads' But at Monterey Bay he ended his day, our legend to behold.
