Lyric Poor Little John

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)
