Lost John Boogie - Wayne Raney

Well the funniest sight that I ever did see

Was lost John boogying through Tennessee

He had no shoes for to cover his feet

Begging the women for his bread and meat

One woman said get away from here John

Fore I take my broom and hurry you on

He's long gone

Where did he go

He boogied his way through Mexico

Lost John liked to boogie

When things were right

He'd boogie all day

And he'd boogie all night

'Til at last when his feet got cold

He said take me home boy's

I'm a little too old

He's long gone

Where did he go

He boogied his way through Mexico

Well the last thing I saw of long lost John

He had a gal with a nose

As long as your arm

A long loose chin

And her toes turned in

She could drink ten gallons of red hot gin

He's long gone

Where did he go

He boogied his way through Mexico
