Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people

Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from ?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong ?

Father McKenzie writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near
Look at him working. Darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there
What does he care?

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people

Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

Joan Baez

Joan Chandos Baez (9 January 1941 -), born in Staten Island, New York, is an American singer-songwriter who help revitalize folk music in the 1960s. She has performed publicly for over 55 years and released some 30 albums. She’s a Quaker by birthright and that is reflected in her early, anti-Vietnam War work, her alignment with the U.S. Civil Rights movement, and her work with Amnesty International.

Baez is highly regarded today for her music and her involvement in social issues, but she’s not without her critics. Her early involvement in the anti-war movement had many claiming she was un-American. Others claim her support of the civil rights movement was self-serving. Baez has always refused to enter the political arena directly, working instead to privately support causes she believes in.

Baez has received numerous awards for her music, including the Grammy Lifetime Achievement and Grammy Hall of Fame awards.
