There's a lot of different kinds of blues tunes, and some of them 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 could hunt them all up in American folk music,a tune called Lost John.John liked the hobo of the trains, that was the way he got around,and so it's sort of a train-flavored tune, too.. . .. . .Lost John a-walkin' along in the rain,Around the curb come a passenger's train,John made a *** but he never got aboard,He left him a-sittin' on the old railroad,And long gone, long gone, long gone,Lost John.. . .. . .No hat on his head, no shoes on his feet,He's a-beggin' the women for his bread and his meat,Woman, woman, sit now, look here, John,I'll take my broom and wanna hurry along,And long gone, and long gone, long gone,Lost John.. . .Had an old dog, his name was Will,He run Lost John to the top of the hill,And long gone, long gone, long gone,Lost John.. . .. . .. . .
