The old man's hair was white and his eyes looked tired 

He drank his beer at the table all alone 

But he smiled when I spoke to him so I sat down for awhile 

I wound up sitting there the whole night long 

'Cause I could see he had a lifetime on his mind 

So I just sat there and listened, I was glad to take the time. 

And he said. 

I saw Jimmy Rodgers yodel on the stage 

And I saw Hank when the walked him to his grave 

I saw a country boy from Memphis 

Change the world with rock and roll 

And these old eyes have seen it all. 

Then he said. 

I saw friends of mine or foreign soil die proud 

I saw things over there, son, that I still can't talk about 

I saw a crazy man named Hitler and his army rise and fall 

Yeah, these old eyes have seen it all. 

These old eyes have seen it all 

Now the hands of time are writing on the wall 

Telling me I won't have long waiting for my Jesus to call 

These old eyes have seen it all. 

I saw sweet Mary love me, fifty years 

With a trembling hand we wiped away a tear 

He said my memories of Mary are the sweetest I recall 

And these old eyes have seen it all. 

These old eyes have seen it all 

They saw a man walk on the moon and come back home 

I know it won't be long before I hear my Jesus call 

These old eyes have seen it all...
