How Long Blues

How long, baby how long

Has that evening train been gone?

How long, how how long, baby how long?

Went to the station, didn't see no train

Down in my heart, I have an aching pain

How long, how how long, baby how long?

I feel disgusted, I feel so bad

Thinking 'bout the good time that I once had had

How long, how how long, baby how long?

I could see the green grass growing on the hill

I ain't seen no greenback on a dollar bill

How long, how how long, baby how long?

You're gonna be sorry you feel so blue

When you want me, baby, I declare I want, want you

How long, how how long, baby how long?

Don't have no money for to ride the train

I would ride the rugs, baby, to be with you again

How long, how how long, baby how long?

How long, baby how long

Must I keep my, my watching point?

How long, how how long, baby how long?
