John, John Songtext
von Roger McGuinn

John, John Songtext

John, John, the only living son
Of a man who had four daughters
And he always tried to follow what he ought to
And a lovely man was John

And he went to school like a good boy should
And he listened to the priests and the nuns
And his father waited for the day when John
Would be old enough to be a family man
When the family name would be passed along
For he was his father′s only living son

John, John, the only living son
Of a man who had four daughters
And he always tried to follow what he ought to
And a lovely man was John


And the daughters married one by one
But the son didn't go for the ladies
He was stuck with his mind on Hades
So it came as a surprise when he entered the house
And announced to his father he was was taking the vows
And the family name wouldn′t pass along
For he was his father's only living son

John, John, the only living son
Of a man who had four daughters
And he always tried to follow what he ought to
And a lovely man was John

And the neighbors came when they heard the news
And they shook his father's hand with a smile
And his father stood tall with his arm ′round John
And accepted their blessings and he never let on
That the family name and his dream was gone
For he was his father′s only living son

John, John, the only living son
Of a man who had four daughters
And he always tried to follow what he ought to
And a lovely man was John
