Lost john


Ha!

This here's a story about, Lost John
Lost John done flew the coop!

Hee!

How many long gone?

Lost John standin' by the railroad track
Waitin' for the freight train to come back
Freight train came back and never made no stop
Lost John thought he'd have to ride on top

Well, he's long, long, long gone (woo-yeah)
And he's long, long, long gone

Yeah, lost John came into the country woman's house
Sat down there as quiet, just as quiet as a mouse
She said, 'Now Mister Lost John, be my friend
Be my friend up until the end.'

Well ('cause) he's long, long, long gone
(Well, l'm talkin' 'bout it)
Now he's long, long, long gone
(Yeah, came into the country woman's house)

Lost John came into a country woman's house
Sat there as quiet, quiet as a mouse
Said, 'Mister Lost John be my friend
Be my friend until the end.'

Well, I'm long, long, long gone
Well, I'm (he's) long, long, long gone

Yeah, she said
'Lost John a-don't you have no fear
I'm sending for the porter, gonna buy some beer'
He said, 'Now woman don't you buy no beer
The cop's is on my trail and-a soon be here'

Well, I'm long, long, long gone
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Well, he's long, long, long gone

(Makin' a pair of shoes of his own)

Well, they caught Lost John
Put 'em in the pen
Summer break and gone
And now he's out again

If anybody asks you
Who sung this song
Tell 'em Lonnie Donegan
Been 'ere and gone

Well, he's long, long, long gone (ooone)
Well, he's long, long, long gone (one more time, ah)

Well, he's long, long, long gone
(He's goin', he's goin')
Well he's long, long, (long) gone

(Bib-idy-ba-ba-ba-ba-baah)

Hey, baby!
(Thank you)
Thank you!

Oh yeah, Mike (yeah)

VM: Thankyou very much.
Now we would like to have a surprise for you tonight
I'd like to bring on a friend of mine from way back, Dr John

Yeah.

We're gonna do this-a, we're gonna do this song
That was written by a, while back by this-a British-a trumpet player/guitarist
Ken Colyer

(Yeah, that's the man)

Goes like this

One, okay
One

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Lonnie Donegan (Anthony James Donegan, 1931-2002) was a Scottish singer and guitarist considered the father of skiffle, a popular music genre in the 1950s that influenced the birth of rock and roll. Donegan began his career as a jazz and blues musician, playing in local bands before emerging in 1954 with his single "Rock Island Line". The song became an immediate success, topping the British charts and launching Donegan to international fame. His musical style, characterized by fast rhythms, catchy melodies, and simple lyrics, inspired generations of musicians, including the Beatles, who cited him as one of their main influences. Donegan released numerous successful albums throughout the 1950s and 1960s, collaborating with artists such as Chuck Berry and Bill Haley. Among his most famous songs are "My Old Man's a Dustman", "Does Your Mother Know?" and "Puttin' on the Style". Despite the decline of skiffle in the 1960s, Donegan continued to record music until the end of his career. His musical legacy remains alive, recognizing him as a pioneer of rock and roll and a fundamental artist in the history of popular music.
