Just a Man Waiting F
Fred Moore
The first time I saw him I thought he was blind
But his eyes had seen so much they no longer shined
The next time I saw him his hair was all gone
He was just a man waiting for Jesus to come
Chorus: Down at the heals and up on the line
An old grey bird waiting his time
Shy from the rain, shy from the sun
He was just a man waiting for Jesus to come
A bottle of wine was all that he owned
No family, no friends, an old bird all alone
His talk was all mumbled, the wine had his tongue
He was just a man waiting for Jesus to come
Chorus:
They found him this morning in a burned out doorway
I thought no one knew him then I heard someone say
“Why that’s old Frank Fagan if I know anyone
He was just a man waiting for Jesus to come
Chorus:
