Dave Van Ronk - Folksinger

Long John

I'm Long John; I'm a long time gone
Like a turkey through the corn
With my long clothes on

Well, if I had a-listened, to what my good gal said
Well, I'd a been a-sleepin', in my good gal's bed
But I didn't listen; I just rambled about
Well, now I'm on a chain gang, with my teeth poked out

I'm Long John; I'm a long time gone
Like a turkey through the corn
With my long clothes on

I got a heel in the front; I got a heel behind
Well, you can't quite tell, I'm a-runnin' or a-flyin'
I'm way out yonder, you know, ahead of them hounds
Ain't a hound in town, that can run me down

I'm Long John, I'm a long time gone
Like a turkey through the corn
With my long clothes on

I'm standin' on the corner, with a dollar in my hand
You know, I'm waitin' for the cold things, that the white folks send
Sendin' old cold 'tatoes and a chittlin' stew
And sendin' old hog eye, and a cold tough too

I'm Long John, I'm a long time gone
Like a turkey through the corn
With my long clothes on
With my long clothes on
With my long clothes on
