Lyrics:

But now, you know I'm long, long gone
A-like a turkey through the corn
A-with my long drawers on

Oh Rattler, Rattler is a water dog
He can swim Big Brazos and walk it foot log
But now you know I'm long gone

I ain't got nobody, no worrisome kin
Nobody but myself to be bothered with
But now, you know I'm long

If you knowed you couldn't make it, you oughta stayed at home
Picked up chips for your grandma down on your grandpa's farm
But now, you know I'm long, long gone
A-like a turkey through the corn
A-with my long drawers on

Boy, look-a, look-a yonder, what do I see?
Lord, good kind captain, you know he's comin' up to me
But now, you know I'm long, long gone
A-like a turkey through the corn
A-with my long drawers on
