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
