Letra de Long John
Just a tale about lost John Long John from the Bowling GreenI'm long gone, long Johnny went to the corn, went to the corn Like a turkey in the corn, he's running through the corn With long clothes on, he's running through the corn Long John, with long clothes onWell, the wood was deep and the water was wide Long John, come on the East Coast side Trapped in the river, trying to get on a car Jumped on alligator, thought it was a hut John done come from the other side Seen them guns in the poorest hideHe's long gone, running through the trees Running through the swamp He's long gone, he's long gone He's long-lost John from the Bowling GreenEn route come, one of the trains come around Ain't number nine by the way, she sound Train is rolling them around the bend 16 cops through, they had no way inLong John ran to the side board tracks Jumped that train, never him come back Train, it's coming, on the way he was Someone seen him in Arkansas Train come around, the train sounds Train sounds something like thisJohn's jumped that train going 30 miles Got so tired that the poor boy fell off Wailing down in a farmer's house Seen them lights from a million milesNow the farmer there he would live Pretty poor little dog surrounded him One light shining on top of that bend And John didn't know if he could come in He emptied the river and dogs Hear the sound of the dogLittle pretty dog Big bad dog Long John's scared, he's running through the corn He's running fast as the boots never bornHey long John, running through the corn With his long clothes on Hey long John, long John, long John running through the corn Long clothes on, long clothes off Long clothes off, long clothes on the dog The train Last time I heard of him he was over in Europe
