How Long Blues

How long?

Babe, how long

Has that evening train been gone?

How long?

Baby, how long?

Baby, how long?

I can see the green grass

Growin' way up on yonder hill

But I ain't seen the green back

On a dollar bill

In so long

So long

Baby, so long

How long?

Babe, how long?

'Cause I keep my

Clothes in pawn

How long?

How long?

Baby, how long?

Now if I could holler

I would scream like a mountain, jack

I'd go way up on the mountain

And I'd call my baby back

But how long?

How long?

Baby, how long?

How long?

How long

Oh, has that evenin' train been gone?

For so long

So long

Oh, so long

How long?

Baby, how

Oh, 'cause I keep my

Thoughts in pawn

How long?

Baby, how long?

Oh, how long?

I'm going up on the mountain

Scream like a mountain, jack

Yeah, will scream so loud

I'm gonna call my baby back

But how long?

How long?

Baby, how long?

Baby, how long?
