There's a lot of different kinds of blues tunes and some of them aren't really blues at all.
They just have a sort of a blues flavor.
An old tune that I've always liked ever since the first time I heard it,
and I guess there's a jillion versions of this if you could hunt them all up in American folk music,
a tune called Lost John.
John liked the hobo of the trains.
That was the way he got around.
And [E] so it's sort of a train-flavored [F#] tune, too.

Lost John a-walkin' along in the rain, around the curb come a passenger train.
John made a grab, but he never got aboard.
He left him a-sittin' on the old railroad.
[A] And he's long gone, long [E] gone, long [B] gone, lost John.

No hat on his head, no shoes on his feet.
He's a-beggin' the women for his bread and his meat.
A woman once said, now look here, John, I'll take my broom and I'm gonna hurry along.
[A] He's long gone, he's long gone, [B] long gone, [E] lost John.

[E] Had an old dog, his name was Will.
He run lost John to the top of a hill.
He's long gone, long gone, [B] long gone, [E] lost John.
