Long Gone (From the Bowlin’ Green) Louis Armstrong and His All Stars

[Verse 1: Velma Middleton, Louis Armstrong]
Pops, did you hear the story of Long John Dean?
Not yet, Velma
A bold bank robber from Bowlin' Green
Was sent to the jail house yesterday
But late last night he made his getaway

[Chorus]
He was long gone from Kentucky
Long gone, ain't he lucky?
Long gone, what I mean
Long gone John from Bowlin' Green

[Verse 2: Velma Middleton, Louis Armstrong]
Take another one Velma, take another one
Long John stood on the railroad tie
Waitin' for a freight train to come by
Freight train came by puffin' and flyin'
Oughta seen long John grabbin' that blind

[Chorus]
He was long gone from Kentucky
Long gone, ain't he lucky?
Long gone, what I mean
Long gone John from Bowlin' Green
