New Old John Robertson |
| Old John Robertson he wore a Stetson hat |
| People passing by would never affect |
| Long white hair bright blue eyes shining through |
| 's if he knew, and he always knew |
| Children laughing playing 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 |
| As a younger man he wore many hats so well |
| In the early days of Hollywood so many stories to tell |
| And after many years his legacy remains |
| Settle down in the country in … |
| Magic words from him caressing children’s ears |
| And their laughter helped to hide away his tears |
| All in vain it 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 |
