[Verse 1]
Come in stranger, make yourself at home (Sing it [fool/folks])
And I [say/pray] come in stranger, make yourself at home
Let's hold a conversation while daddy's all alone
(Tell 'em 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 'em with a feelin', say it with [flowers, please/flawlessly])
I'm gonna tell you a little story now, all about poor Lost John
That he lost his reputation running good-lookin' women down
[Verse 4]
Lost John had a woman, eyеs like the stars above
Lost John had a woman, еyes like the stars above
And he 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, [?])
Down on 2314 St. Ann, between Miro and Tonti
[?] down in New Orleans that gave birth to me
