Roger Miller - Poor Little John Lyrics
Little john lived on a mountainside,Never thought much about taking on a bride,Finally he upped and he married one day,She didnt like the country so she done run awayPoor little john, poor little john,Your mama used to love you but your mamas goneWhat you gonna do, livin all alone,Your mama used to love you but your mamas goneLittle john say what a fool I be,Hot tone woman make a monkey outa me,Life gets lonesome on the mountainside,Guess thats the reason little john sit and criedPoor little john, poor little john,Your mama used to love you but your mamas goneWhat you gonna do, livin all alone,Your mama used to love you but your mamas goneLittle john dont know what he gonna do,Lose one woman, dont wanna try for two,Guess hell get along without no help,Live all his life on the mountain by hisself(repeat chorus to fade)
