Another man done gone
Another man done gone
From the County Farm
Another man done gone

I didn't know his name (four times)

He had a long chain on (four times)

He killed another man (four times)

I don't know where he's gone (four times)

I'm gonna walk your log (four times)

John Lomax, speaking: That's perfect!
