Alf Robertson - These Old Eyes Have Seen It All Lyrics




The old man's hair was white
And his eyes looked tired
He drank his beer at the table all alone
But he smiled when I spoke to him
So I sat down for a while
I wound up sitting there whole night long
'Cause I could see that he
He had a lifetime on his mind
So I just sat there and listened,
And I was glad to take the time.
And he said

I saw Jimmy Rodgers yodel on the stage
And I saw Hank when they walked him to his grave
I saw country boy from Memphis
Shake the world with rock and roll
These old eyes seen it all.

I saw friends of mine or foreign soil die proud
I saw things over there, son,
That I still can't talk about
I saw a crazy man named Hitler
And his army rise and fall
These old eyes seen it all
These old eyes have seen it all
The hands of time are writing on the wall
They´re telling me that it won't be long
'till I hear my Jesus call
These old eyes have seen it all

I saw my sweet Mary love me, fifty years or so
With a trembling hand he wiped away a tear
He said my memories of Mary
Are the sweetest I recall
These old eyes have seen it all
These old eyes have seen it all
The hands of time are writing on the wall
They´re telling me that it won't be long
'till I hear my Jesus call
These old eyes have seen it all.

Hmm, these old eyes have seen it all.
