letra de lost john [live in new york / 1970] - doc watson
[intro]
there’s a lot of different kinds of blues tunes
and some of ’em aren’t really blues at all
they just have a sort of a blues flavor
an old tune that i’ve always liked ever since the first time i heard it
and i guess there’s a jillion versions of this if you can hunt ’em all up
uh, in american folk music
a tune called “lost john”
john liked to hobo the trains, that was the way he got around
and so it’s, uh, sort of a train-flavored tune, too
[verse 1]
lost johnny walkin’ along in the rain
around the curb come a faster train
john made a grab but he never got aboard
it left him a-sittin’ on the old railroad
he’s long gone, long gone, long gone, lost john
[verse 2]
no hat on his head, no shoes on his feet
he’s a-beggin’ to women for his bread and a need
a woman once said, “now, looky here, john
i’ll take my broom and gonna hurry along”
long gone, he’s long gone, long gone, lost john
[verse 3]
had an old dog, his name was will
he runnin’ lost john to the top of the hill
he’s long gone, long gone, long gone, lost john
