Long Gone (From Bowlin' Green) Lyrics
Pops did you hear the story of long John Dean not yet drummer
A bold bank robber from Bomlin Green
Was sent to the jail house yesterday
But late night he made his getaway
He was long gone from Kentucky
Long gone ain't he lucky
Long gone what I mean
A long gone John from Bowlin Green
Long John stood on the railroad tie
Waiting for freight train to come by
Freight train came by puffing and frying
Oughta seen long John grabbing that blind
He was long gone from Kentucky
Long gone ain't he lucky
Long gone what I mean
A long gone John from Bowlin Green
They caught him in Frisco to seal his fate
At San Quentin they jailed him one evening late
But out on the ocean John did escape
Cause the guards forgot to colse the Golden Gate
He was long gone from Kentucky
Long gone ain't he lucky
Long gone what I mean
A long gone John from Bowlin Green
While they offered a reward to bring him back
Even put bloodbounds on his track
Those doggone bloodhounds lost his scent
Now nobody knows where John went
He was long gone from Kentucky
Long gone ain't he lucky
Long gone what I mean
A long gone John from Bowlin Green
A gane of men tried to capture Dean
So they chased him with a submarine
Dean jumped overboard and grabbed the submarine
And made that gang catch a frying machine
He was long gone from Kentucky
Long gone ain't he lucky
Long gone what I mean
A long gone John from Bowlin Green
He was long gone I said from Kentucky
Long gone (hmm that boy's lucky)
Long gone (yeah he's got nothing in the head)
Long gone long gone
Long gone long gone
Long gone long gone
