Lyrics:
As I walked by the lake one day by chance my Dorraine passed my way
Then she and I walked hand in hand on the banks of Ponchartrain
I pinned a flower
little peaches by the score
But master Johny was a wis'un, you know,
His steady girl was Flo
And every Sunday afternoon
She'd jump in his boat
Aboard a craft bereft of oar
I rowed upstream to find Lenore
Abducted by a bandit or
A king from some forgotten war
And mindful of his larval
Young Johnny Jones he had a cute little boat
And all the girlies he would take for a float.
He had girlies on the shore,
Sweet little peaches by
a note...layin' by the bedside
Tellin' me she's gone
And now she's gone gone gone just gone
Now she's gone gone gone just gone
Now she's gone gone gone just gone
Young Johnny Jonesy had a cute little boat
And all the girlies
He would take for a float
He had girlies on the shore
Sweet little peaches by
April
And he's gone
And he's gone
Winter's gone
You find it's October
And she's gone
And she's gone
Summer's gone
You've been fooled by April
Young Johnny Jones he had a cute little boat
And all the girlies he would take for a float.
He had girlies on the shore,
Sweet little peaches by
at the oars
G#7 C#m
Or staring from the rail
E -A B7
And the sea bids farewell
G#m
She waves in swells
Young Johnny Jones he had a cute little boat
And all the girlies he would take for a float.
He had girlies on the shore,
Sweet little peaches by
She left me by myself.
She left me this mo'nin'.
She left me by myself.
She said, 'Johnny, yes I'm gone.'
'I won't be back no mo'.'
'You don't stop
of coal
He goes by the name of King Creole
You know he's gone, gone, gone
Jumping like a catfish on a pole, yeah
You know he's gone, gone, gone
When the summer's gone, she'll be there
Standing by the light
What she's been to, where she's gone to
She should know wrong from right
Is she
a long story short she's gone
I won't attempt to explain the things that happened
To put in words why she's not here would take too long
And it's all
My baby's gone and left me, crying by myself
My baby's gone and left me, crying by myself
I loved another woman, I lost my best gal
She was
Love's gone away she never wanted to stay
Hours go by each one seem like a day when love's gone away
My eyes look but they don't see blinded by her
My baby's gone and left me, crying by myself
My baby's gone and left me, crying by myself
I loved another woman, I lost my best gal
She was
When the summer's gone, she'll be there
Standing by the light
What she's been to, where she's gone to
She should know wrong from right
Is she
Wondering, could you stay, my love?
Will you wake up by my side?
No, she can't
'Cause she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
Now do I have to fall asleep
of coal
He goes by the name of King Creole
You know he's gone, gone, gone
Jumping like a catfish on a pole, yeah
You know he's gone, gone, gone
a good thing going
It's killing me that she's as good as gone
By now she must be tired of always giving
And tired of what she's getting in return
a stranger I ain't never met,
She's about as gone as a girl can get,
She's outta here, she disappeared without a trace.
More or less unimpressed by
And I lost her hesitating by temptation lest it runs
But she don't holler me but I'm not there, I'm gone
Now I'll cry tonight like I cried the night
Oh well, it's long gone, long gone
You got my baby and you're long gone
But I'll be a hangin' around
I know you're gonna put her down
She'll need
