Old John Robertson [single Version] Lyrics - Younger Than Yesterday - The Byrds

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 

Entrancing children's ears 

But they laughed at him 

When he went to hide 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
