Handsome John (Live)

[Verse 1]

I didn't know him as well as I tell everyone I did

Hell he was nearly fifty and I was only a kid

But even way back in those missing years when he was still just catching on

There was nobody better than Handsome John

[Verse 2]

The next time I saw him he walked off to Paradise

In a way that I would say that I'm still taking for advice

For with a plain spoken word and a simple melody

You can see this world with dignity

[Chorus]

Oh boy

Look no further for your real McCoy

Here comes the singing mailman from Maywood, Illinois

Oh boy

[Verse 3]

Well the last time I that saw him he danced off to Lake Marie

Whеn I realized I was crying out in tears of victory

For with a fеw still missing and a new one coming on

There was still nobody better than old Handsome John

[Chorus]

Oh boy

Look no further for your real McCoy

Here comes the singing mailman from Maywood, Illinois

Oh boy

Oh boy
