Long John

Traditional

Now Long John made him
A pair of shoes
They were the funniest shoes
That you ever could see
They had a heel in the front
And a heel behind
You could never tell where
Long John was gwine

Long John
Y'know he's long gone
Like a turkey through the corn
With his long pajamas on, (y'know he's)
Long gone, long gone
From Bowling Green
From Bowling Green

Now Long John made him
A funny little boat
It was the funniest little boat
That you ever could see
It had a motor in the front
And an engine behind
You could never tell where
Long John was gwine

Long John
Y'know he's long gone
Like a turkey through the corn
With his long pajamas on, (y'know he's)
Long gone, long gone
From Bowling Green
That was his home

Now Long John made him
A bumbershoot
It was the bumberest shoot
That you ever could see
It had a bumber in the front
And a shoot behind
You could never tell where
Just where Long John was gwine

Long John
Y'know he's long gone
Like a turkey through the corn
With his long pajamas on, (y'know he's)
Long gone, long gone
From Bowling Green
From Bowling Green
From Bowling Green
