"Long Gone, Long Gone" lyrics - SONNY TERRY & BROWNIE MCGHEE

O looka yonder what I see,
Wh' dat ol' red-eyed captain
Comin' after me.

I'm long gone, like a turkey through the corn,
I'm long gone, like a turkey through the corn,
Long gone, long gone, he had his long 'jamas on,
He had his long ' jamas on.

If that captain ax' you
Which-er way I go,
Tell him down through them woods,
I'm makin' ninety-fo'.

I was long gone, like a turkey through the corn,
I was long gone, like a turkey through the corn,
Long gone, long gone, he had his long 'jamas on,

O looka yonder what I see,
Wh', dat ol' red-eyed captain
He's comin' after me.

But I'm long gone, like a turkey through the corn,
I'm long gone, like a turkey through the corn,
Long gone, long gone, he had his long 'jamas on,
He had his long ' jamas on.

He was long gone, like a turkey through the corn,
He was long gone, like a turkey through the corn,
Long gone, long gone, he had his long 'jamas on,
He had his long 'jamas on.

He went down to that river,
You know he couldn't get 'cross,
You know he grabbed the alligator,
And he thought it was a horse.

They were long gone, like a turkey through the corn,
They were long gone, like a turkey through the corn,
Long gone, long gone, he had his long 'jamas on,
He had his long 'jamas on.

Long gone,
"Go ahead now, buddy."
Long gone,
"I wish you luck."
Long gone,
"Farewell, pal."
Long gone,
"Go ahead now."

He was long gone,
"Go ahead now."
He was long gone,
"So long."
He had his long 'jamas on.
