How Long Blues

How long, baby, how long? Has that evening train been gone? Baby how long, yes how long? How long? I went to the station To watch my babe leave town Feeling low and disgusted For my baby couldn't be found How long? How long, how long? If I could holler Like a mountain jack I'd climb the highest mountain To call my baby back Oh, how long? Yes, how long, how long? I hear the lords of wheels and poet But I see no train My heart is aching and breaking and I want it bad But how long, yes how long, babe, how long?
