How Long, How Long Blues Songtext
von B.B. King

How long, how long, has that evenin′ train been gone?
How long, how long, baby, how long?

Heard the whistle blowin', couldn′t see no train
Way down in my heart baby, I had aches and pain
How long, how long, baby, how long?


I'm sad and lonely all the day through
Why don't you write to me baby and give me the news
Yes you have left me, left me singing
The ′how long blues′

Well, if I could holler like a mountain jack
I'd go up on the mountain and call my baby back
How long, how long, baby, how long?

I went up on the mountain, looked as far as I could see
A man had my woman and the blues had poor me
How long, how long, baby, how long?

How long, how long, baby, has that evenin′ train been gone?
How long, how long, baby, how long?
