Little John lived on a mountainside,
|
Never thought much about taking on a bride,
|
Finally he upped and he married one day,
|
She didn't like the country so she done run away
|
|
Poor little John, poor little John,
|
Your Mama used to love you but your Mama's gone
|
What you gonna do, livin' all alone,
|
Your Mama used to love you but your Mama's gone
|
|
Little John say what a fool I be,
|
Hot tone woman make a monkey outa me,
|
Life gets lonesome on the mountainside,
|
Guess that's the reason little John sit and cried
|
|
Poor little John, poor little John,
|
Your Mama used to love you but your Mama's gone
|
What you gonna do, livin' all alone,
|
Your Mama used to love you but your Mama's gone
|
|
Little John don't know what he gonna do,
|
Lose one woman, don't wanna try for two,
|
Guess he'll get along without no help,
|
Live all his life on the mountain by hisself
|
(repeat chorus to fade)
