[Verse 1]
John does some singing 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 loving man
John's got a woman he calls her his queen
He buys her them city made clothes
And she's about the sweetest that I've ever seen
There is something that John never knows

[Chorus]
When John is out crooning I'm out with his queen
Passing his money around
But if you look for me and I can't be seen
You'll know that John's back in town

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
When John's out a touring I wear his best suits
Smoke up his old big cigars
I lie with his woman, wear out his boots
Shaffer his limousine cars
When John's making money he keeps on the go
So if you should hear he's around
Buy one of his records or go see his show
Help me keep old John out of town

[Chorus]
