I believe in Jesus
An' what the Bible said
An' I am fairly certain
He had himself a heavy head. He scared the lyin' people
So bad, they hung him dead
An' they never even listened
To what he really said.

— Hoyt Axton Joy To The World (1971)

And a straight-shooting son of a gun.

Doin' what I think I should.

Could have loved a whole lot more, been a little more true.

All the boys and girls, now,
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me
