The Everly Brothers - Long Lost John lyrics

The funniest sight I ever did see Was a-long lost John from Bowlin' Green He had no shoes for to cover his feet Beggin’ the women for his bread and meat One woman said "Get away from here John For to take my broom and hurry you on" He's a long gone Where did he go? Boogied his a-way to Mexico One woman said, "John what'd please you?" John said, "Why dear I thought you knew, In the morning I want a leg of lamb Forty-nine kisses and a hock of ham; Tomorrow evening when the sun goes down Don't fix a thing ‘cause I won’t be 'round" He long gone Where did he go? He boogied his a-way to Mexico
