Lost Dog Street Band - Long John Dean
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
★ Chorus ★
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
★ Verse 2 ★
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
★ Chorus ★
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
★ Verse 3 ★
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
★ Chorus ★
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
