Old Man Luedecke - Lost John lyrics

Have you ever heard the story 'bout Lost John Dean Old bank robber from Bowling Green They brought him to jail the other day Late that night he made his getaway But he's long gone from old Kentucky Long gone, he's lucky Long gone, that's what I mean Long gone, from Bowling Green Well they offered a reward for to fetch him back Even put the bloodhounds on his track He held the dog on bloodhoundS lost the scent Nobody knows where Lost John went I never will forget till the day I die Played a game of love with a woman held high Since I win and it's tails you lose One played the ace, I played the deuce But I'm long gone from old Kentucky Long gone, I'm lucky Long gone, that's what I mean Long gone, from Bowling Green Well the old man come to town with a gun in his hand Said he's lookin' for a gamblin' man Can't play at love when hearts is trump Never gonna tell how the cards going to jump But he's loong gone from old Kentucky Long gone, he's lucky Long gone, that's what I mean Long gone, from Bowling Green
