roy acuff - lost john, he's gone lyrics

Loading...

wid his di’mond blade
got it in his han’
gonna hew out de live oaks

dat are in dis lan’

he’s long gone
he’s long john
he’s gone, gone [he’s gone,
like a turkey throught the corn
wid his long clo’es on
he’s gone, gone [he’s gone,
he’s gone john
he’s long gone

ef i had a-listened
what rosie said
i’d a-been sleepin’
in a-rosie’s bed

but-a i wouldn’ listen
got to runnin’ aroun’
an’ de firs’ thing i knew
i was jailhouse bound

well, i got in de jail
wid my mouf poked out
now i’m in the pen
an i cain’ get out

well-a john made
a pair of shoes
funnies’ shoes
dat ever was seen

had a heel in front
an’ a heel behind
well, you couldn tell where
dat boy was a-gwine

well-a, come on, honey
let me shet dat do’
well de dogs is a-comin’
an’ i got to go

well-a, hear dat sergeant
just a-huffin’ and a-blowin’
well, i b’lieve i hear
ol’ rattler moanin’

well, i crossed that brazos
in de mornin’ dew
well, i leave you, sergeant
an de’ captain too

well-a, good mornin’, mary
how do you do?
well i crossed dat river
jus’ to see you

all dis summer
won’ call no mo’
ef i call nex’ summer
den i’m gone some mo’

he’s long gone
he’s long john
he’s gone, gone
like a turkey through de corn

wid his long clo’es on
he’s gone, gone
he’s gone john
he’s long gone
