Lonnie Donegan Lonnie Donegan - Lost John Lyrics

Ha!
This heres a story about lost john

Lost john done flew the coop!

Hee!

How many long gone?

Lost john standin by the railroad track
Waitin for the freight train to come back
Freight train came back and never made no stop
Lost john thought hed have to ride on top

Well hes long, long, long gone (woo-yeah)
And hes long, long, long gone

Yeah, lost john came into the country womans house
Sat down it was quiet, just as quiet as a mouse
She said, now mister lost john, be my friend,
Be my friend up until the end.

cause hes long, long, long gone (what Im talkin bout)
Now that hes long, long, long gone
(yeah came into the country womans house)

Lost john came into a country womans house
Sat there as quiet, quiet as a mouse
Said, mister lost john be my friend,
Be my friend until the end.

Well, Im long, long, long gone
Well, Im long, long, long gone

Yeah, she said, lost john dont you have no fear,
Im sending for the porter, gonna buy some beer.
He said, now woman dont you buy no beer,
The companys on my trail and-a soon be here

cause Im long, long, long gone
(yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Well hes long, long, long gone
(make it a pair of shoes instead)

Well they caught lost john
Put em in the pen
Cell break went down
And now hes out again

If anybody asks you
Who sung this song
Tell em lonnie donegan
Been ere and gone

Well hes long, long, long gone (ooone)
Well hes long, long, long gone (one more time)

Well hes long, long, long gone
(he goin, he goin)
Well hes long, long, long gone.
(ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba).
