Lost John Blues Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Come in, stranger, make yourself at home (Sing it [?])
Said I pray, come in, stranger, make yourself at home
Let's hold a conversation while daddy's all alone
(Tell it with a feelin', Mr. Logan)

[Verse 2]
It's the same old story, but it must be told again
It's the same old story, but it must be told again
Pretty women always sinnin', and a man never gets the blame

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
I'm gonna tell you all a story now, all about poor Lost John
(Tell it with a feelin', say it [?] flawlessly)
I'm gonna tell you a little story now, all about poor Lost John
Said he lost his reputation running good-lookin' women down

[Verse 4]
Lost John had a woman, eyes like the stars above
Lost John had a woman, eyеs like the stars above
And hе lost that pretty woman playin' with a thing called love
(Ain't that too bad)

[Verse 5]
Somebody's been back-biting me, neglecting their gal for mine
Somebody's been back-biting me, neglecting their gal for mine
They're just now back-biting me, and I've been gnawing on them a long, long time

[Verse 6]
(Boy, where were you born?)
Down on 2314 St. Ann, between Miro and Tonti
(Where in the world is that, Ray?)
Down on 2314 St. Ann, between Miro and Tonti
That's the house down in New Orleans that gave birth to me
