Old John Robertson
老约翰·罗伯逊
He wore a stetson hat
他戴着斯泰森帽
People everywhere would
所到之处人们
Laugh behind his back
都在背后嘲笑
No one cared to take
没人愿意花时间
Any time to find out
去了解真相
What he was all about
他究竟是怎样的人
Fear kept them out
恐惧让他们却步
Children laughed and played
孩子们嬉笑打闹
And didn't know his name
却不知他的姓名
They could tell when he
但总能远远认出
Was coming just the same
那蹒跚而来的身影
Walking slow with old John's
老约翰搀扶着
Crippled wife by his side
残疾的妻子缓缓前行
Then she sighed then she died
直到她叹息着离世
Magic words from him
他喃喃念着咒语
Entrancing children's ears
用魔法般的话语吸引孩童
But they laughed at him
却只换来阵阵嘲笑
When he went to hide his tears
当他转身藏起泪水
All in vain was no game
一切努力终成徒劳
For he'd lost an old friend
因为他失去了老友
In the end
到最后
In the end
到最后
