Lost John Lyrics

Introduction
Lost John a'walking along in the rain
Around the curve come a passenger train
John made a grab but he never got aboard
Left him a'sittin' on the old railroad
He long gone, long gone, long gone lost John
Instrumental
No hat on his head, no shoes on his feet
He's a beggin off women for his bread and his meat
A woman a' said well look a'here John
I'll take my broom I'm gone hurry you along
He long gone, long gone, long gone lost John
Instrumental
Had an old dog his name was Will
He run lost John to the top of the hill
He long gone, long gone, long gone lost John
Instrumental
