Yeah babyThis here's a story about | |
Lost JohnLost | |
John done flew the coop | |
How many long gone? | |
Lost John standin' by the railroad track | |
Waitin' for the freight train to come back | |
Freight train come back and never made no stop | |
Lost John thought he'd have to ride on top | |
Well, he's long, long, long gone | |
And he's long, long, long gone | |
Yeah, Lost | |
John came into the country woman's house | |
Sat down there as quiet, just as quiet as a mouse | |
She said, “ | |
Now Mister | |
Lost John, be my friend | |
Be my friend up until the end” | |
Well, he's long, long, long gone(Well, I'm talkin' 'bout it) | |
And he's long, long, long gone(Yeah, he came in country woman's house) | |
Lost John came into a country woman's house | |
Sat there as quiet, quiet as a mouse | |
Said, “Mister | |
Lost John, be my friend | |
Be my friend until the end” | |
Well, I'm long, long, long gone | |
Well, I'm long, long, long gone | |
She said, “ | |
Lost John don't you have no fear | |
I'm sending for the porter, gonna buy some beer” | |
He said, “ | |
Now woman don't you buy no beer | |
The cop is on my trail and soon be here” | |
Well, I'm long, long, long gone | |
Well, he's long, long, long gone(Makin' a pair of shoes of his own) | |
Well, they caught | |
Lost John, put him in the pen | |
Summer break and gone and now he's out again | |
If anybody asks you who sung this song | |
Tell 'em Lonnie | |
Donegan been here and gone | |
Well, he's long, long, long gone | |
Well, he's long, long, long gone | |
One more time | |
Well, he's long, long, long gone(He's goin', he's goin') | |
Well, he's long, long, gone |
