Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
Way back in the fifties rock and roll was still unknown
A man come out of nowhere with a sound all of his own
Rode a war horse cannonball and he sailed on the old John B
Brought them Yankee folk songs to the likes of you and me
Lonnie Donegan with a chewing gum song again
Bring a little water and a long lost John Henry
Giant diamonds
If you want a body got a body like you find again
Take it at the station wanna see my Dixie darling
My Dixie Belle
I still remember that feeling that it give to me
When I first learned to play a G chord just like Lonnie Dee
Stand in front of the mirror, put on the gramophone
Strum that old guitar and wear my fingers to the bone
Lonnie Donegan with a chewing gum song again
Bring a little water and a long lost John Henry
Giant diamonds
If you want a body got a body like you find again
Take it at the station wanna see my Dixie darling
My Dixie Belle
Now Lonnie Donegan but he ain't gone long
I sometimes have to smile
Johnny's ever loving light on me every little once in a while

I still remember that feeling that it give to me
When I first learned to play a G chord just like Lonnie Dee
Stand in front of the mirror, put on the gramophone
Strum that old guitar and wear my fingers to the bone
Lonnie Donegan with a chewing gum song again
Bring a little water and a long lost John Henry
Giant diamonds
If you want a body got a body like you find again
Take it at the station wanna see my Dixie darling
My Dixie Belle
My Dixie darling
My Dixie Belle
Hey Lordy jump down turn around
People want to listen to the song I sing
Hey Lordy jump down turn around
Hallelujah gonna come back again
Hey Lordy jump down turn around
People want to listen to the song I sing
Hey Lordy jump down turn around
Hallelujah gonna come back again
Lonnie Donegan with a chewing gum song again
Bring a little water and a long lost John Henry
