Old John Robertson
Songwriters: Hillman, Chris; Mcguinn, James
People everywhere would
And didn't know his name
What he was all about
Any time to find out
In the end, in the end
Was coming just the same
Magic words from him
Fear kept them out
When he went to hide his tears
All in vain was no game
Entrancing children's ears
Laugh behind his back
Children laughed and played
He wore a Stetson hat
Then she sighed, then she died
Walking slow with old John's
Any time to find out
No one cared to take
They could tell when he
Laugh behind his back
Crippled wife by his side
For he'd lost an old friend
Old John Robertson
No one cared to take
But they laughed at him
What he was all about
People everywhere would
