Mad John Lyrics

    MAD JOHN




    There was an old man who lived in the greenwood
    nobody knew him or what he had done
    but mothers words say to their children beware of Mad John.


    John would sing with the birds in the morning
    laugh with the wind in the cold end of night
    but people from behind their curtains, said he's not quite right.

    John had it sussed he was living the life of a tramp
    yes his bed was the cold and the damp but the sun was his friend
    he was free

    So here was a wise one who loved all the haters
    he loved them so much that their hate turned to fear
    and shaking from behind their curtains the loved ones would hear.
