Long Lost John

LONG LOST JOHN As recorded by The Everly Brothers (From the 1962 Album INSTANT PARTY!) [Intro] [Verse 1] The funniest sight I ever did see Was a-long lost John from Bowlin’ Green He had no shoes for to cover his feet Beggin’ the women for his bread and meat [Verse 2] One woman said "Get away from here John For to take my broom and hurry you on" He’s a long gone Where did he go? Boogied his a-way to Mexico        [Guitar Solo]       [Verse 3] One woman said "John what’d please you?" John said "Why dear I thought you knew In the morning I want a leg of lamb Forty-nine kisses and a hock of ham; [Verse 4] Tomorrow evening when the sun goes down Don’t fix a thing ’cause I won’t be ’round" He long gone Where did he go? A                                N.C. He boogied his a-way to Mexico [Outro]
