Lonnie Donegan – Lost John lyrics
Lost John standing by the railroad track
Waiting for the freight train to come back
Freight train come and it didn't stop
Lost John thought he'd have to ride on top
Long, long lost John
Long, long lost John
Lost John came to
The country from the South
Sat there as quiet
As quiet as a mouse
Lost John said, be my friend
Be my friend until the end
Long, long lost John
Long, long John
Woman say don't have no fear
I'm going to the corner to get some beer
Lost John say, don't buy no beer
Sheriff 's on my trail and he'll soon be here
Long, long lost John
Long, long lost John
If anyone asks you
Who taught you this song
Just say Lonnie Donegan
Has been and gone
Long, long lost John
Long, long lost John
Waiting for the freight train to come back
Freight train come and it didn't stop
Lost John thought he'd have to ride on top
Long, long lost John
Long, long lost John
Lost John came to
The country from the South
Sat there as quiet
As quiet as a mouse
Lost John said, be my friend
Be my friend until the end
Long, long lost John
Long, long John
Woman say don't have no fear
I'm going to the corner to get some beer
Lost John say, don't buy no beer
Sheriff 's on my trail and he'll soon be here
Long, long lost John
Long, long lost John
If anyone asks you
Who taught you this song
Just say Lonnie Donegan
Has been and gone
Long, long lost John
Long, long lost John
