Well it's John John, John John He's John John, John John
He's John John, John John He's John John, John John
Well if I had listened What the Rosie said
I could have been at home When the Rosie said
Well, I wasn't listening
Got to running around
Which thing I know
I was jailed, I was bound
Well, I got in jail
With my mob pope down
Well, now I'm in the pen
And I can't get out
He's no John, but he's no John
Well, the John name
There's a parachute
Well, the funniest shoe
That was ever seen
Had a heel in front
And a heel behind
Well, it didn't know well
That the boy was one
He's no John, [G] but he's no John
He's [N] no John, but he's no John
Oh, long John
Well, it took three minutes
Let me catch my wind
And it took three minutes
I'm gone again
Oh, long [Bm] John
Oh, long [N] John
Well, the coldest summer
Ain't gonna fall no more
If a cold leg come up
Bein' cold to me
He's long gone
He's long gone
He's long gone
He's long gone
Well, the John said
In the chapter 14
Every man live
Let his sin be clean
Well, long John
He's long gone
Like a turkey to the corn
He's long gone
Well, the John John
Well, the marble-eyed John
Well, the strong John
Well, the tenderfoot John
Well, the long, cold John
Just escaping to the corn
Oh, long John
Oh, long John
He's long gone
He's long gone
What do you boys say?
What the captain say?
Now, if you boys work
Gonna treat you pretty well
Now, if you don't work
Gonna give you plenty hell
Well, I'm long gone
I'm long gone
I'm long gone
I'm long gone
I'm long gone
Well, you read on down
Well, you read on down
By the chapter 16
Well, the road John said
Well, the road John said
F-A-U-R-O
F-A-U-R-O
F-A-U-R-O
I'm a-dropping on down
With my weed and jay
All are in my hand
Gonna kill every weed
That's a really nasty man
I'm a long gone
I'm a long gone
I'm a long gone
I'm a long gone
Well, the road John said
Well, the road John said
In the chapter 14
Now, for me and Doug
That's it and it's done
