 ROGER MILLER - Poor Little John Lyrics

!18h151912o1522114ohh16f

!18h151912o1522114ohh16f
Little John lived on a mountainside,
!18h151912o1522114ohh16f
Never thought much about taking on a bride,
!18h151912o1522114ohh16f
Finally he upped and he married one day,
!18h151912o1522114ohh16f
She didn't like the country so she done run away
!18h151912o1522114ohh16f

!18h151912o1522114ohh16f
Poor little John, poor little John,
!18h151912o1522114ohh16f
Your Mama used to love you but your Mama's gone
!18h151912o1522114ohh16f
What you gonna do, livin' all alone,
!18h151912o1522114ohh16f
Your Mama used to love you but your Mama's gone
!18h151912o1522114ohh16f

!18h151912o1522114ohh16f
Little John say what a fool I be,
!18h151912o1522114ohh16f
Hot tone woman make a monkey outa me,
!18h151912o1522114ohh16f
Life gets lonesome on the mountainside,
!18h151912o1522114ohh16f
Guess that's the reason little John sit and cried
!18h151912o1522114ohh16f

!18h151912o1522114ohh16f
Poor little John, poor little John,
!18h151912o1522114ohh16f
Your Mama used to love you but your Mama's gone
!18h151912o1522114ohh16f
What you gonna do, livin' all alone,
!18h151912o1522114ohh16f
Your Mama used to love you but your Mama's gone
!18h151912o1522114ohh16f

!18h151912o1522114ohh16f
Little John don't know what he gonna do,
!18h151912o1522114ohh16f
Lose one woman, don't wanna try for two,
!18h151912o1522114ohh16f
Guess he'll get along without no help,
!18h151912o1522114ohh16f
Live all his life on the mountain by hisself
!18h151912o1522114ohh16f
[repeat chorus to fade]
!18h151912o1522114ohh16f
