The Calling (Charlie Christian's Tune)

Johnny took the 4: 05 and he rode it
 Rode it down the line
 He did not know that the ghost of Charlie Christian
 Was riding too
 That's when he got the feeling
 Felt his soul and spirit rise
 Closed his eyes and saw a vision
 And he was sanctified
 He said,
 "I have heard a calling
 I have heard a calling
 I have heard it in the night
 And I stood under the light of the calling."
 Somebody brushed him on the shoulder
 He felt a chill run right down his spine
 He did not know that the ghost of Charlie Christian
 was riding too
 (riding too)
 But that's when he got the feeling
 the music coming up from the back
 Heard the sound of fingers on steel
 And a wheel upon a track
 He said,
 "I have heard a calling
 I have heard a calling
 I have heard it in the night
 And I stood under the light of the calling."
 He said,
 "I have heard a calling
 I can heard a calling
 Like a priest or a missionary
 I am only following the calling."
 Following the calling...
