Lost John Songtext

Lost John standing by the railroad track Waiting for the freight train to come back Freight train come and it didn't stop Lost John thought he'd have to ride on top Long, long lost John Long, long lost John Lost John came to The country from the South Sat there as quiet As quiet as a mouse Lost John said, be my friend Be my friend until the end Long, long lost John Long, long John Woman say don't have no fear I'm going to the corner to get some beer Lost John say, don't buy no beer Sheriff 's on my trail and he'll soon be here Long, long lost John Long, long lost John If anyone asks you Who taught you this song Just say Lonnie Donegan Has been and gone Long, long lost John Long, long lost John
