Pops, did you hear the story of Long John Dean? Not yet drummer A bold bank robber from Bowlin' Green Was sent to the jail house yesterday But late last night he made his getaway [Chorus] He was long gone from Kentucky Long gone, ain't he lucky? Long gone, what I mean A long gone John from Bowlin' Green Long John stood on the railroad tie Waitin' for freight train to come by Freight train came by puffin' and flyin' Oughta seen long John grabbin' that blind [Chorus] They caught him in 'Frisco to seal his fate At San Quentin they jailed him one evening late But out on the ocean John did escape 'Cause the guards forgot to close the Golden Gate [Chorus] Well, they offered a reward to bring him back Even put bloodhounds on his track Those doggone bloodhounds lost his scent Now nobody knows where John went [Chorus] A gang of men tried to capture Dean So they chased him with a submarine Dean jumped overboard and grabbed the submarine And made that gang catch a flyin' machine He's long gone from Kentucky A long gone, that boy's lucky A long gone, what I mean A long gone John from Bowlin' Green He's long gone, I said, from Kentucky Long gone, hmm, that boy's lucky Long gone; yeah, he's got nothing in the head Long gone, long gone
