Willie Watson – Long John Dean lyrics
Did you ever hear the story about Long John Dean?
A bold bank robber from Bowlin' Green
They put him in the jailhouse 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 it's heads she wins and tails I lose
Well she played the ace and I had the deuce
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, got away lucky
I’s long gone, that’s what I mean
Long gone from Bowlin' Green
A bold bank robber from Bowlin' Green
They put him in the jailhouse 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 it's heads she wins and tails I lose
Well she played the ace and I had the deuce
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, got away lucky
I’s long gone, that’s what I mean
Long gone from Bowlin' Green
