[VERSE 1]

G
Little John lived on a mountainside,
C               D          G
Never thought much about taking on a bride,
G
Finally he upped and he married one day,
    C                D             G                
She didn't like the country so she done run away

[CHORUS]

C                  G               
Poor little John, poor little John,
      C             D                G       
Your Mama used to love you but your Mama's gone
C                    G 
What you gonna do, livin' all alone,
     C             D                G   
Your Mama used to love you but your Mama's gone

G
Little John say what a fool I be,
C         D            G
Hot tone woman make a monkey outa me,
G
Life gets lonesome on the mountainside,
C                   D           G   
Guess that's the reason little John sit and cried

[CHORUS]

C                  G               
Poor little John, poor little John,
      C             D                G       
Your Mama used to love you but your Mama's gone

What you gonna do, livin' all alone,

Little John don't know what he gonna do,
C           D          G

G
Guess he'll get along without no help,
C             D           G             
Live all his life on the mountain by hisself

[CHORUS]

C                  G

Your Mama used to love you but your Mama's gone

What you gonna do, livin' all alone,
     C             D                G   
Your Mama used to love you but your Mama's gone
