Lyrics
Ha! This here's 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 he'd have to ride on top
Well he's long, long, long gone (woo-yeah) And he's long, long, long gone
Yeah, lost john came into the country woman's 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 he's long, long, long gone (what I'm talkin' 'bout) Now that he's long, long, long gone (Yeah came into the 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
Yeah, 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 company's on my trail and-a soon be here
'Cause I'm long, long, long gone (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) Well he's long, long, long gone (Make it a pair of shoes instead)
Lost john made a pair of shoes of his own The finest shoes that ever was worn Heels at the front, heels behind You couldn't tell a-which way lost john was gwine
Well they caught lost john Put 'em in the pen Cell break went down And now he's out again
If anybody asks you Who sung this song Tell 'em lonnie donegan Been 'ere and gone
Well he's long, long, long gone (ooone) Well he's long, long, long gone (one more time)
Well he's long, long, long gone (He goin', he goin') Well he's long, long, long gone (Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba)
[Talking part ending leads into "goin' home"]: Thankyou! thankyou! (oh yeah mike - yea). thankyou very much. now we like to have a surprise for you tonight, and bring on a friend of mine from way back, dr john.

[Leads into "goin' home"]
