The Caretaker - Johnny Cash [00:00:00]

Written by：Cash [00:00:00]

I live in the cemetery[00:00:00]

Ol' caretaker they call me[00:00:03]

In the wintertime I rake the leaves[00:00:06]

And in the summer I cut the weeds[00:00:10]

When a funeral comes the people cry and pray[00:00:14]

They bury their dead and they all go away[00:00:18]

But through their grief[00:00:22]

I still can see[00:00:24]

Their hate and greed and jealousy[00:00:26]

So here I work and I somehow hide[00:00:30]

From a world that rushes by outside[00:00:34]

And each night when I rest my head[00:00:38]

I'm contented as the peaceful death[00:00:42]

But who's gonna cry when old John dies[00:00:50]

Who's gonna cry when old John dies[00:00:53]

Once I was a young man[00:00:59]

Dashing with the girls[00:01:02]

Now no one wants an old man[00:01:06]

I lost my handsome curls[00:01:09]

But I want to say when my time comes[00:01:13]

Lay me facing the rising sun[00:01:18]

Put me in the corner where I buried my pup[00:01:22]

Tell the preacher to pray then cover me up[00:01:25]

Don't lay flowers where my head should be[00:01:30]

Maybe god let some grow for me[00:01:34]

And all the little children that I love like my own[00:01:38]

Will they be sorry that old john's gone[00:01:42]

Who's gonna cry when old John dies[00:01:50]

Who's gonna cry when old John dies[00:01:53]
