Long John Dean - Willie Watson

Did you ever hear the story about

Long John Dean?

A bold bank robber from Bowlin' Green

They put him in the jail house 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 its heads she wins and tails I Lose

Well she played the ace and I had the duce

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, go-on and get lucky

I’s Long gone, that’s what I mean

long gone from Bowlin' Green
