How Long Blues

Long old train, cruel engineer

They took my baby and left me here

And how long will I keep these lonesome blues?

How long, how long has that evening train been gone?

How long, how long, baby, how long?

Mean old blues come down on me

They're all around me, they're all I see

And how long will I keep these lonesome blues?

How long, how long has that evening train been gone?

How long, how long, baby, how long?

Cruel engineer, can't you see?

I need my baby back with me

And I'd be rid of these mean old lonesome blues

How long, how long has that evening train been gone?

How long, how long, baby, how long?
