[Verse 1:]
Now Buttermilk John played the steel guitar
It made a mournful sound
From the cotton fields of Arkansas
To the streets of that Nashville town
[Chorus:]
Oh John, oh John, play all night long
Play till my tears run dry
Oh John, oh John, play one last song
Before you take that final ride
[Verse 2:]
Now Buttermilk John sure loved Miss Jean
She never left his side
Was the sweetest love I’ve ever seen
The Holy Bible was their guide
[Chorus]
[Verse 3:]
Now Buttermilk John was a godly man
I loved him like a son
Now he’s gone on to the Glory Land
With Jesus he, he will run
Now Buttermilk John played the steel guitar
It made a mournful sound
From the cotton fields of Arkansas
To the streets of that Nashville town
[Chorus:]
Oh John, oh John, play all night long
Play till my tears run dry
Oh John, oh John, play one last song
Before you take that final ride
[Verse 2:]
Now Buttermilk John sure loved Miss Jean
She never left his side
Was the sweetest love I’ve ever seen
The Holy Bible was their guide
[Chorus]
[Verse 3:]
Now Buttermilk John was a godly man
I loved him like a son
Now he’s gone on to the Glory Land
With Jesus he, he will run
