Well John does some singin' they call him a star
He plays with a hillbilly band
He goes lots of places picks his guitar
Old John ain't a home lovin' man
John's got a woman he calls her his queen
He buys her them city made clothes
She's bout the sweetest that I've ever seen
There are some things that John never knows
When John is out Cronin’ I'm out with his queen
Flashin’ his money around
So if you look for me and I can't be seen
You’ll know that John's back in town
When John's out a tourin' I wear his best suits
Smoke up his four-bit cigars
I lie with his woman wear out his boots
Chauffer his limousine cars
When John's making money he keeps on the go
So if you should hear he's around
Go buy one of his records or go see his show
Help me keep old John out of town
When John is out Cronin’ I'm out with his queen
Flashin’ his money around
So if you look for me and I can't be seen
You’ll know that John's back in town
