How Long, How Long Blues

How long babe how long

Has that evenin' train been gone?

How long, how, how long, baby how long?

Went and asked at the station: 'why's my baby leavin' town?'

You were disgusted, nowhere could peace be found

For how long, how, how long, baby how long?

I can hear the whistle blowin' but I cannot see no train

And it's deep down in my heart baby, there lies an achin' pain

For how long, how, how long, baby how long?

Sometimes I feel so disgustin' and I feel so blue

That I hardly know what in this world baby just to do

For how long, how, how long, baby how long?

And if I could holler, like I was a mountain jack

I'd go up on the mountain and I'd call my baby back

But for how long, how, how long, baby how long?

And someday you gonna be sorry that you done me wrong

But it will be too late baby, I will be gone

For so long, so long, baby so long

My mind gets a ramblin', I feel so bad

Thinkin' about the bad luck that I have had

For how long, how, how long, baby how long?
