Buttermilk John

Lyrics

[Verse 1:] Now Buttermilk John played the steel guitar It made a mournful sound From the cotton fields of Arkansas To the streets of that Nashville town [Chorus:] Oh John, oh John, play all night long Play till my tears run dry Oh John, oh John, play one last song Before you take that final ride [Verse 2:] Now Buttermilk John sure loved Miss Jean She never left his side Was the sweetest love I've ever seen The Holy Bible was their guide [Chorus] [Verse 3:] Now Buttermilk John was a godly man I loved him like a son Now he's gone on to the Glory Land With Jesus he, he will run [Chorus] [Outro:] Oh John, oh John, play one last song Before you take that final ride
