Lyrics:

Long, long lost John
Long, long lost John
Lost John standing by the railroad track
Waiting for the freight train to come back
Freight train come and it didn't stop
Lost John thought he'd have to ride on top

Long, long lost John
Long, long lost John

Lost John came to
The country from the South
Sat there as quiet
As quiet as a mouse

Lost John said, be my friend
Be my friend until the end
Long, long lost John
Long, long John
Lost John standing by the railroad track
Waiting for the freight train to come back
Freight train come and it didn't stop
Lost John thought he'd have to ride on top

Long, long lost John
Long, long lost John

Lost John came to
The country from the South
Sat there as quiet
As quiet as a mouse

Lost John said, be my friend
Be my friend until the end
Long, long lost John
Long, long John
