Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]One day, one day,
one day I was walking [C]along
[G]And I heard a little boy,
he was singing [Am]a song
About [G]old Long John,
with his long clothes [C]on
[G]Like a turkey through the corn,
he's Long John
Long gone, [C]long gone
[G]Like a through the corn,
with his long clothes on
[Am]He's [G]long gone, he'[Am]s lon[G]g gone,
[Am]he's[C] long [G]gone
Well if I had a lesson, what Rosie said,
what Rosie [C]said
[G]I'd have been a -sleepin',
I'd have been in Rosie's [Am]bed
But [G]I didn't listen, I didn't,
just wondered about [C]it
And [G]now I'm in jail,
now I'm in jail
with my teeth poked [Am]out
[G]He's long gone, he's he's long gone,
[C]he's long [G]gone
He's gone, with his long clothes [Am]on,
[G]he's long [Am]gone, [G]he's long gone,
[Am]he's [C]gon[G]e gone
I better hurry up gal,
hurry up gal, shut that door
[Am]All [G]the dogs are a -coming,
and I got to [Am]go
[G]La Bella, two, three minutes,
two, three minutes, let me catch my wind
La Bella, two, three minutes,
two, three minutes, and [Am]I'm gone again
[G]He's a long John, long John,
long gone, gone
Like a jockey through the car,
with his long clothes [Am]on
[G]Long Joh[C]n, he'[G]s a long gon[C]e
[Am]He's [G]gone, John, [C]he's [G]gone, gone you
