Long Gone - Like A Turkey
Through The Corn
Recorded by Sonny Terry & Bownie Mcghee
From Live At Newport 1963 (Vnaguard VSD-79145)
Hey yonder what I see ,that red eyed captain coming after me
But I'm long gone like the turkey thro the corn
But I'm long gone like the turkey thro the corn
But I'm long gone like the turkey thro the corn
If that captain ask you, which way did I go
Tell him thro the woods, it will make him mighty sore
But I'm long gone like the turkey thro the corn
But I'm long gone like the turkey thro the corn
But I'm long gone like the turkey thro the corn
He went out to that river, he couldn't get across
You know he got an aligator and he thought it was a hog
But I'm long gone like the turkey thro the corn
But I'm long gone like the turkey thro the corn
But I'm long gone like the turkey thro the corn
