Lyrics Long Gone (From the Bowlin' Green) - Louis Armstrong
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
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
He
was
long
gone
from
Kentucky
Long
gone,
ain't
he
lucky?
Long
gone,
what
I
mean
Long
gone
John
from
Bowlin'
Green
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
He
was
long
gone
from
Kentucky
Long
gone,
ain't
he
lucky?
Long
gone,
what
I
mean
A
long
gone
John
from
Bowlin'
Green
While
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
He
was
long
gone
from
Kentucky
Long
gone,
ain't
he
lucky?
Long
gone,
what
I
mean
A
long
gone
John
from
Bowlin'
Green
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
