How Long Blues

How long, baby how long,

Has that evening train been gone?

[Chorus]

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.

[Chorus]

I feel disgusted, I feel so bad

Thinking 'bout the good time that I once have had.

[Chorus]

I could see the green grass growing on the hill;

I ain't seen no greenback on a dollar bill.

[Chorus]

You're gonna be sorry, you'll feel so blue.

When you want me, baby, I declare I won't want you.

[Chorus]

Don't have no money for to ride the train.

I would ride the rods, baby, to be with you again.

[Chorus]

How long, baby how long

Must I keep my, my watch in pawn?
