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 blow'n, but I cannot see no train,
and it's deep down in my heart baby, there's 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 train,
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, 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.
