Small Faces Mad John Lyrics

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.
