[00:02.95]They took John away this mornin'
[00:05.50]They took John away this mornin'
[00:08.11]They took John away this mornin'
[00:10.65]And he ain't comin' home no more
[00:13.33]He ain't comin' home no more
[00:15.64]Now John was a hard working fella
[00:18.20]Who shove a coal from mourn till dusk
[00:20.70]He was married
[00:21.63]To a girl named Stella
[00:23.35]In no me place by the spent and her
[00:26.24]Stella was a half line woman
[00:28.24]Who didn't care about settling down
[00:31.03]So and John went to work each mornin'
[00:33.76]That when Stella starts messing around
[00:35.49]That's the reason why they took John away this mornin'
[00:39.38]They took John away this mornin'
[00:41.83]They took John away this mornin'
[00:44.41]And he ain't comin' home no more
[00:47.19]He ain't comin' home no more
[00:49.49]Now John got a postman letter
[00:52.06]And it said Stella was so true
[00:54.31]She was frightened with a toll together
[00:57.42]Oh her mother and fast and low
[01:00.29]While John was digging in that cave man
[01:02.80]I woke up like a lumber jack
[01:05.07]Now Stella was making woopy
[01:08.02]Stella making a bull jike
[01:09.64]That's the reason why they took John away this mornin'
[01:13.39]They took John away this mornin'
[01:15.92]They took John away this mornin'
[01:18.42]And he ain't comin' home no more
[01:21.21]He ain't comin' home no more
[01:24.99]While John left the cave man holy
[01:27.08]He took the car valley he me back home
[01:29.70]But the shadows in the hollow window
[01:32.75]Tell Stella wasn't home alone
[01:35.51]So seeking in the back board screen door
[01:37.94]While I'm alone the looking fire
[01:40.07]And the smoke cleared the way
[01:42.04]Dear brothers
[01:43.44]John was the only one alive
[01:45.14]That's the reason why they took John away this mornin'
[01:48.71]They took John away this mornin'
[01:51.06]They took John away this mornin'
[01:53.67]And he ain't comin' home no more
[01:56.48]He ain't comin' home no more
[01:59.01]Cause' he'd had his first date on prison
[02:01.42]Cause' he'd had his first date on prison
[02:04.00]Cause' he'd had his first date on prison
[02:06.63]And he ain't comin' home
[02:08.99]No more
