Lost Dog Street Band - Long John Dean lyrics
[Lost Dog Street Band - Long John Dean lyrics]
You ever hear the story about Long John Dean?
A bold bank robber from Bowlin' Green
He went to the jailhouse the other day
Last night made his getaway
And well, he's long gone from old Kentucky
Long gone, got away lucky
Well, he’s long gone, that’s what I mean
Long gone from Bowlin' Green
They sent a posse to bring him back
They put bloodhounds on his tracks
But the doggone bloodhounds lost the scent
No one knows where Long John went
Well, he’s long gone from old Kentucky
Long gone, got away lucky
Well, he’s long gone, that’s what I mean
Long gone from Bowlin' Green
I never will forget 'til the day I die
I fell in love with a woman held high
She held the ace, I held the deuce
Tails she wins, heads I lose
Well, he’s long gone from old Kentucky
Well, he's long gone, got away lucky
Well, he’s long gone, that’s what I mean
Long gone from Bowlin' Green
A bold bank robber from Bowlin' Green
He went to the jailhouse the other day
Last night made his getaway
And well, he's long gone from old Kentucky
Long gone, got away lucky
Well, he’s long gone, that’s what I mean
Long gone from Bowlin' Green
They sent a posse to bring him back
They put bloodhounds on his tracks
But the doggone bloodhounds lost the scent
No one knows where Long John went
Well, he’s long gone from old Kentucky
Long gone, got away lucky
Well, he’s long gone, that’s what I mean
Long gone from Bowlin' Green
I never will forget 'til the day I die
I fell in love with a woman held high
She held the ace, I held the deuce
Tails she wins, heads I lose
Well, he’s long gone from old Kentucky
Well, he's long gone, got away lucky
Well, he’s long gone, that’s what I mean
Long gone from Bowlin' Green
