Lyrics:
Donegan's gone, Lonnie Donegan Donegan's gone
Gone, Lonnie Donegan Donegan's gone
Play that big grand coulee dam
Nobody loves like an irishman
Gone, Lonnie Donegan Donegan's gone
Donegan's gone, Lonnie Donegan Donegan's gone
Gone, Lonnie Donegan Donegan's gone
Lord, I'm just a rolling stone
Rock my soul I want to go home
Gone, Lonnie Donegan Donegan's gone
Donegan's gone, Lonnie Donegan Donegan's gone
Gone, Lonnie Donegan Donegan's gone
Stackalee and a gamblin' man
Rock my soul in the bosom of abraham
Gone, Lonnie Donegan Donegan's gone
Donegan's gone, Lonnie Donegan Donegan's gone
Gone, Lonnie Donegan Donegan's gone
Time just goes on rolling by
Lord, I feel like I could cry
Gone, Lonnie Donegan Donegan's gone
Lost John standin' by the railroad track
Waitin' for the freight train to come back
Freight train come back and never made no stop
Lost John thought he'd have to ride on top
Well, he's long, long, long gone
And he's long, long, long gone
Yeah, Lost John came into the country woman's house
Sat down there as quiet, just as quiet as a mouse
She said, “Now Mister Lost John, be my friend
Be my friend up until the end”
Well, he's long, long, long gone
(Well, I'm talkin' 'bout it)
And he's long, long, long gone
(Yeah, he came in country woman's house)
Lost John came into a country woman's house
Sat there as quiet, quiet as a mouse
Said, “Mister Lost John, be my friend
Be my friend until the end”
Well, I'm long, long, long gone
Well, I'm long, long, long gone
She said, “Lost John don't you have no fear
I'm sending for the porter, gonna buy some beer”
He said, “Now woman don't you buy no beer
The cop is on my trail and soon be here”
Well, I'm long, long, long gone
Well, he's long, long, long gone
(Makin' a pair of shoes of his own)
Well, they caught Lost John, put him in the pen
Summer break and gone and now he's out again
If anybody asks you who sung this song
Tell 'em Lonnie Donegan been here and gone
Well, he's long, long, long gone
Well, he's long, long, long gone
One more time
Well, he's long, long, long gone
(He's goin', he's goin')
Well, he's long, long, gone
Donegan's gone, Lonnie Donegan
Donegan's gone
Gone, Lonnie Donegan
Donegan's gone
Play that big Grand Coulee Dam
Nobody love like an Irishman
Gone, Lonnie Donegan
Donegan's gone
Donegan's gone, Lonnie Donegan
Donegan's gone
Gone, Lonnie Donegan
Donegan's gone
Lord, I'm just a rolling stone
Rock my soul I wanna go home
Gone, Lonnie Donegan
Donegan's gone
Hmm
Ooh
Donegan's gone, Lonnie Donegan
Donegan's gone
Gone, Lonnie Donegan
Donegan's gone
Stack alee and a gamblin' man
Rockin' my soul in the bosom of Abraham
Gone, Lonnie Donegan
Donegan's gone
Um um uh hmm
Donegan's gone, Lonnie Donegan
Donegan's gone
Gone, Lonnie Donegan
Donegan's gone
Time just goes on rolling by
Lord, I feel like I could cry
Gone, Lonnie Donegan

Been 'ere and gone
Well, he's long, long, long gone (ooone)
Well, he's long, long, long gone (one more time, ah)
Well, he's long, long, long gone
(He's goin', he's goin')
Well he's long, long, (long) gone
(Bib-idy-ba-ba-ba-ba-baah)
Hey, baby!
When I get even more old than I am now
I'll have a house overlooking the water
I'll read all the books that I never got 'round to
And pile my suitcases up in the corner
The lights of the city they blink off and on again
Names in my memory are there, then they're gone again
Albums of photographs spread on the floor again
I'll spend my evenings with Katherine of Oregon
I'll fill my garage up with things I've no use for
Obsolete knick-knacks that there's no excuse for
I'll turn my back on the world's grand illusions
Take my delights in the simplest amusements
The lights of the city they blink off and on again
Names in my memory are there, then they're gone again
Albums of photographs spread on the floor again
I'll spend my evenings with Katherine of Oregon
I'll wear my clothes with their colors all clashing
They'll be so old that they'll come back in fashion
I'll sit on the beach with my paper wrapped luncheon
I'll enjoy being the ancient curmudgeon
The lights of the city they blink off and on again
Names in my memory are there then they're gone again
I'll have a jukebox and play Lonnie Donegan
And I'll spend my evenings with Katherine of Oregon
Well, I'm long, long, long gone
Well, I'm (he's) long, long, long gone
Yeah, she said
'Lost John a-don't you have no fear
I'm sending for the porter, gonna buy some beer'
He said, 'Now woman don't you buy no beer
The cop's is on my trail and-a soon be here'
Well, I'm long, long, long gone
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Well, he's long, long, long gone
(Makin' a pair of shoes of his own)
Well, they caught Lost John
Put 'em in the pen
Summer break and gone
And now he's out again
If anybody asks you
Who sung this song
Tell 'em Lonnie Donegan
Been 'ere and gone
Well, he's long, long, long gone (ooone)
Well, he's long, long, long gone (one more time, ah)
Well, he's long, long, long gone
(He's goin', he's goin')
Well he's long, long, (long) gone
(Bib-idy-ba-ba-ba-ba-baah)
Hey, baby!
Break free
Ohhh free
I felt consumed by the norms
Always needing more
People judging by what they saw
Pressures mounting Who's the real me
Said goodbye to my shopping sprees
Burned the cash traps I used to please
Walking paths less traveled with guides along
Finding strength in staying strong
I'm breaking free
Freedom's worth more to me
Ohhh oh breaking free
My freedoms worth more to me
Eyes open to a clearer view
We don't need all that shiny hue
Trading stress for days lived wide
Finally got the world on our side
I'm breaking free
Freedom's worth more to me
Ohhh oh breaking free
My freedoms worth more to me
Mr money moustache tought me the maths
JL collins shows me the path
Millennial quick like a millionaire
The doc earns and invests
Paula pant have suzzie a rant
Madly avoiding tax with the fientist
Mr 1500 saved my life
Jacob paved the extreme way
Brad helped me to choose F I
Rebel Donegans created extraordinary
Vickie's life force was measured in dollars
I'm breaking free
Freedom's worth more to me
Ohhh oh breaking free
My freedoms worth more to me
No One Listens to Music Anymore
David Jones got into a fight
Changed the colour of his eyes
Muddy Waters record in his head, David Bomberg on his mind
Smoked a Lucky on the Victoria line
Those English fags are just uncouth
Strutted down to Dobell’s American Import section
Died and went to heaven in the listening booth
But no one listens to music anymore
No one listens to music anymore
Ivan Morrison put on the radio and watched it warm up
Tuned it in to Luxemburg
Lonnie Donegan was on the Rock Island Line
Huddie Ledbetter was what he heard
In the distance came a marching band
It made a glorious sound
Then the boy picked up his guitar, and never put it down
No one listens to music, no one listens to music anymore
We've fallen out of love with the world
All the Ravens have left the tower
They still call it Rock and Roll
But it doesn't have the power
When King Curtis blew a Whiter Shade of Pale
It sent us crashing through the floor
But no one listens to music anymore
When Johnny Thunders kicked it, when Poison Ivy licked it
When Bo Diddley was the law
But no one listens to music anymore
David Jones got into a fight
Changed the colour of his eyes
And all the monsters in his head began to synthesise
Sitting safe in Soho, keeping out of the rain
Don't you love this English weather?
Erm, and of course, very much with the first version we heard was Lonnie Donegan, and that's the version I think we did in Episode Six, wasn’t it?
- Yeah. We didn’t know the Johnny Horton one.
- No.
