Long John Dean Lyrics

Did you ever hear the story about Long John Dean?

A bold bank robber from Bowlin' Green

They put him in the jailhouse the other day

And late last night he made his getaway



He's long gone from old Kentucky

Long gone, got away lucky

He's long gone, that's what I mean

Long gone from Bowlin' Green



Well They offered a reward to bring him back

They even put the bloodhounds on his track

But the doggone bloodhounds lost his scent

And nobody knows where Long John went



He's long gone from old Kentucky

Long gone, got away lucky

He's long gone, that's what I mean

Long gone from Bowlin' Green



Well I never will forget till the day I die

I played a game of love with a woman held high

Well it's heads she wins and tails I lose

Well she played the ace and I had the deuce



But I's long gone from old Kentucky

Long gone, got away lucky

I's long gone, that's what I mean

Long gone from Bowlin' Green



I's long gone from old Kentucky

Long gone, got away lucky

I's long gone, that's what I mean

Long gone from Bowlin' Green
