New How Long How Long Blues, Pt. 2

How Long, How Long Blues - Leroy Carr

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 blowing

but I cannot see no train

And it's deep down in my heart baby,

there's lies an aching pain

For how long, how, how long,

baby how long?

Sometimes I feel so disgusting

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 train

I'd go up on the mountain

and I'd call my baby back

But 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 rambling

I feel so bad

Thinking about the bad luck

that I have had

For how long, how, how long,

baby how long?
