	作词 : Cash
	I live in the cemetery'
	Old Caretaker' they call me
	In the wintertime
	I rake the leaves
	And in the summer
	I cut the weeds
	When a funeral comes
	The people cry and pray
	They bury their dead
	Then they all go away
	And here I work
	And I somehow hide
	From a world that rushes
	By outside
	But each night
	When I rest my head
	I'm contented
	As the peaceful death
	But who's gonna cry
	When old John dies?
	Who's gonna cry
	When old John dies?
	Once I was a young man
	Dashing with the girls
	Now no one wants an old man
	When I lost my handsome curls
	But I wanna say
	When my time comes
	Lay me facin'
	The rising sun
	Put me in a corner
	Where I buried my pup
	Tell the preacher to pray
	Then cover me up
	Don't lay flowers
	Where my head should be
	Maybe God would
	Let some grow for me
	And all the little children
	That I love like my own
	Will they be sorry
	That Old John's gone?
	Who's gonna cry
	When Old John dies?
	Who's gonna cry
	When Old John dies?
