Did several searches and have been curious for years about the ending to this protest song Sit Down Young Stranger.
Does anyone know Who, Mr. Lightfoot is refering to with the lyric:
John loves mary
Does anyone love me
Also, I assume it is about feeling like an outsider? Any different interpretations?
Thanks for the help 
Read the lyrics from the perspective of a draft dodger back in the Vietnam era. It will make more sense.
I don't think he was being specific about John and Mary. John and Mary are two of the most common names known to man. He was just saying that everyone has someone else to love. Why doesn't he?
