Long John Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[B]

[Verse 1]
[B]I'm Long John; I'm a long time gone
Like a turkey through the corn

[Verse 2]
With my long clothes on
[B]
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

[Verse 3]
I'm [B]Long John; I'm a long time gone
Like a turkey through the corn
With my long clothes on

[Verse 4]
I got a heel [B]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

[Verse 5]
I'm Long [B]John, I'm a long time gone
Like a turkey through the corn

[Verse 6]
With my long clothes on
[B]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

[Verse 7]
I'm Long [B]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
