Lost John

Well, the ugliest man I ever seen

Was long lost John from Bowling Green

No hat on his head no shoes on his feet

Begging the women for his bread and meat

He's long gone, and that's what I mean

He's long, long gone from Bowling Green

Well, I had an old dog his name was Will

He ran lost John to the top of the hill

Last time old lost John was seen

He was running like a rabbit outta Bowling Green

He's long gone, but that's what I mean

He's long, long gone from Bowling Green

Come on

Lost John standing alone in the rain

Around the corner came a passenger train

John took a grip, couldn't get aboard

Left him a standing on the old rail road

He's long gone

He's long gone from old Kentucky

Long gone, got away lucky

He's long gone, that's what I mean

Long gone from Bowling Green

Ay, long gone

Most fun I've ever had in Bowling Green
