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



C                      G

          D                                             G  
Your Mama used to love you but your Mama gone 
C                                  G   
Whatcha gonna do livin all alone 
          D                                            G 
Your Mama used to love you but your Mama gone 


G 
Little John say what a fool I be 
D                                       G 
High toned woman make a monkey out of me 
G 
Life gets lonesome on the mountain side 
D                                          G 
Guess that the reason little John set and cried 



G 
Little John don know what he gonna do 
D                                 G 
Lose one woman don wanna try for two 
G 
Guess he get along without no help 
D                                 G 
Lived all his life on the mountain by himself
