Lyrics
LOOKIN? FOR UNCLE JOHN
By David Caira
Uncle John born two years after my ma
Was the apple of her eye
Been forty years since she last saw him
Wonder if he?s still alive?
Seen him come never seen him go
Ask Salvation Army they don?t know
Are we chasin the ghost of a dead man
Or is he alive, runnin just as fast as he can
In prison for bank robbery
Went on a hunger strike
Grand pa said when you get out don?t come back
Just stay out of our life
Seen him come never seen him go
Ask Salvation Army they don?t know
Are we chasin the ghost of a dead man
Or is he alive, runnin just as fast as he can
Were still lookin for Uncle John
