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 |
