Lyrics:
At the levee
And I'm a child of a backseat freedom, baptized by rock and roll
Marilyn Monroe and the Garden of Eden, never grow up, never grow old
Just
where John called home
He just drifted into town and stayed all alone
He didn't say much, kinda quiet and shy
And if you spoke at all, you just said,
long, lost john.
Lost john standing by the railroad track
a-waitin' for the freight train to come back.
The freight train come back but never made a stop
where John called home
He just drifted into town and stayed all alone
He didn't say much, kinda quiet and shy
And if you spoke at all, you just said hi
pumped gas for a living and
He fixed tires on the side
And I guess old John could fix most anything
If you didn't push it he'd try
And he gave me my first
laughed about how good things used to be
This big city ain't good for me
I'll meet you down by the cottonwood tree
I need a John Doe on a John Deere
to find out the master's name.
Down at the end, round by the corner.
Close to the edge, just by a river.
Seasons will pass you by.
I get up, I get down.
laughed about how good things used to be
This big city ain't good for me
I'll meet you down by the cottonwood tree
I need a John Doe on a John Deere
Dear John, oh, how I hate to write
Dear John, I must let you know tonight
That my love for you has died away like grass upon the lawn
And tonight I
the country so she done run away
Poor little John, poor little John,
Your Mama used to love you but your Mama's gone
What you gonna do, livin' all
Goin' tell you a story, stick around
A man I know found us out
John Lee Hooker, he's the boogie king
If you have music, hear it ring
John Lee
It's like, I just love a cowboy you know
I'm just like, I just, I know, it's bad
But I'm just like
Can I just like, hang off the back of your
Yeah baby
This here's a story about Lost John
Lost John done flew the coop
How many long gone?
Lost John standin' by the railroad track
Waitin' for
just drifted into town and stayed all alone.
He didn't say much, kind of quiet and shy
And if you spoke at all, you'd just said hi to Big John.
Somebody
vie.
Dear John, so long;
You've seen the last of me."
I don't want her back
I won't even try
This time ain't just au revoir
This time it's

John Henry said, "That ain't no storm Captain
That's just my hammer in the air, Lord, Lord
That's just my hammer in the air"
John Henry said
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
it half in two
Thirty-five cents a day for drivin' steel
Sweat, sweat boy, sweat, you owe me two more swings
I was born for driven steel
Well John
them muscles gonna do? Huh? John Henry?
Gonna take a little bit of vinegar out of you."
John Henry said,"I feed for little brothers
And baby
caught him by the arm
He said: John Hardy come and go with me oh boy
John Hardy come and go with me
John Hardy come and go with me oh boy
John Hardy
when it's red
My baby left her jinglin' John for foldin' Fred.
My baby told me, Honey, you're poor but I love you
And you could make me happy just

Oh, we're meetin' at the courthouse at eight o'clock tonight
You just walk in the door and take the first turn to the right

Father Riley B. Jones:
He said Dong was Wong,
'N Wong was Kong

'N John was wrong
Former Execs:
Sorry John
Sorry
the cold and holy darkness you were always shining brighter than a star.
God bless you, John!
For the love and joy you've given and the living inspiration
