Old John Robertson |
Old John Robertson he wore a Stetson hat |
People everywhere would laugh behind his back |
No one cared to take any time to find out |
What he was all about, fear kept them out |
Children laughed and played and didn’t know his name |
They could tell when he was coming just the same |
Walking slow with old John’s crippled wife by his side |
Then she sighed, then she died |
Magic words from him would charm some children’s ears |
But they laughed at him when he hid behind his tears |
All in vain was no game for he’d lost an old friend |
In the end, in the end |
Old John Robertson he wore a Stetson hat |
People everywhere would laugh behind his back |
No one cared to take any time to find out |
What he was all about, fear kept them out |
