Willie watson - Long john dean lyrics

Did you ever hear the story about Long John Dean? A bold bank robber from Bowlin' Green Did you ever hear the story about Long John Dean? A bold bank robber from Bowlin' Green They put him in the jail house the other day And late last night he made his getaway He's long gone from old Kentucky Long gone, got away lucky He's Long gone, that's what I mean Long gone from Bowlin' Green Well They offered a reward to bring him back They even put the bloodhounds on his track But the doggone bloodhounds lost his scent And nobody knows where Long John went He's long gone from old Kentucky Long gone, got away lucky He's Long gone, that's what I mean Long gone from Bowlin' Green Well I never will forget till the day I die I played a game of Love with a woman held high Well its heads she wins and tails I Lose Well she played the ace and I had the duce But I's long gone from old Kentucky Long gone, got away lucky I's Long gone, that's what I mean Long gone from Bowlin' Green I's long gone from old Kentucky Long gone, go-on and get lucky I's Long gone, that's what I mean Long gone from Bowlin' Green
