Johnny Cash – The Caretaker (who's Gonna Cry) Lyrics  Share

From Johnny Cash's album: Cash Unearthed Disc 1

I live in the cemetery, ol^, 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
[ The Caretaker (who's Gonna Cry) lyrics from

Now no one wants an old man, I lost my handsome curls
But I wanna say when my time comes, lay me facing the rising sun
Put me in a corner where where I buried my pup
Tell the preacher to pray then cover me up
Don^,t plant 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
