How Long?

Baby, how long

Baby how long

Have that ev'nin train been gone

Baby, how long, how long, baby how long

Hear it was so

Can't see no train

But deep in my heart I feel and achin' pain

And that's a-how long, how long, babe how long

Into the station

Look up at the board

Next train around

Strawberry Road

How long, how, woo, baby how long

'make it wail ev'rybody' 'yeah, so sweet'

Down atta station

With my head hung down

Lookin' at my sugar, when she leave this town

Baby, how long, how long, baby how long

I ain't got no money

Buy a ticket on a train

But I'll ride de blinds, baby

Be back home, again

Well, how long, how long, baby how long

See me comin'

Gon get some plow work

*I'll cut your liver

Plug your heartache

Been so long, woo swoo, baby how long

'Sonny, wail about it'

Feelin' bad, I'm lookin' sad

Thinkin' bout the bad luck, Sonny

I once have had

But how long, how long, honey how long

See the green grass, growin' on a hill

Never seen no green grass on a dollar bill

How long, how long, baby how long

Lower you, baby

To a hollow tree

Way you treat me

Come back to you

Hoo, low, hoo, woo, baby gone

'Make it wail ev'rybody, now'

Feel so disgusted, I feel so blue

Sometimes Sonny, I don't know

What in the world I'm gonna do

Now, how long, how long, yeah how long

See that little house, sitting on the hill

You don't love me, goin try another who will

How long, how long baby, how long

See my baby, tell her I'll be runnin' home

I've been worried, ever since she been gone

How long, how, woo, baby how long

'Love to see ya'

'Play for me, now'
