A D A
Old John Robertson he wore a Stetson hat
A D E
People everywhere would laugh behind his back
A D A F#m E
No one cared to take any time to find out
D E
What he was all about, fear kept them out
A D A
Children laughed and played and didn´t know his name
A D E
They could tell when he was coming just the same
A D A F#m E
Walking slow with old John´s crippled wife by his side
D E
Then she sighed, then she died
A D A
Magic words from him would charm some children´s ears
A D E
But they laughed at him when he hid behind his tears
A D A F#m E
All in vain was no game for he'd lost an old friend
D E
in the end, in the end
A D A
Old John Robertson he wore a Stetson hat
A D E
People everywhere would laugh behind his back
A D A F#m E
No one cared to take any time to find out
D E
What he was all about, fear kept them out
