Long Gone

歌詞

You all have heard the story 'bout Long John Green Bold bank robber from Bowldin' Green They put him in jail and he stayed three days Late last night he made his get-away He's long gone, from old Kentucky He's long gone, wasn't he lucky? He's long gone, what I mean He's long gone, from Bowldin' Green He's long gone, from old Kentucky He's long gone, wasn't he lucky? He's long gone, what I mean He's long gone, from Bowldin' Green They sent for the high sheriff to bring him back Went 'n' put the p'lice hounds on his track The doggone greyhound lost his scent And nobody knows where Long John went He's long gone, from old Kentucky He's long gone, wasn't he lucky? He's long gone, what I mean He's long gone, from Bowldin' Green I ain't gon' tell you how I've got here, but I've got chere just the same If you seen him runnin' them first five miles, you'd swore that he wasn't lame Say, he stopped in the woods, catch his wind, a-heard the stick crack and a-lit out again I ain't gonna tell you how I got here, but I got chere just the name One day a circus came to town with freaks that 'as wild as a beast A one-legged man by the name of Jones, we went to see the street parade But just as we reached the circus ground, I heard somebody say "You better be mighty particular, 'cause the lion done got away" But then I grabbed my hat, for home I fairly flew But when I got there, my one-legged friend said, "Jim, I'm right here, too." He say I ain't gonna tell you how I got here, but I got chere just the same Said, if you seen him runnin' them first five miles, you'd swore that he wasn't lame Say, he stopped in the woods, catch his wind, a-heard the stick crack and a-lit out again I ain't gonna tell you how I got here, but I got chere just the same Yeah, I ain't gonna tell you how I got here, but I got chere just the same If you seen him runnin' them first five miles, you'd swore that he wasn't lame Say, he stopped in the woods, catch his wind, a-heard the stick crack and a-lit out again I ain't gonna tell you how I got here, but I got chere just the same, yeah
