How Long Blues Songtext
von Spencer Bohren

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

I heard the whistle blowing, didn′t see no train
Down in my heart, I have an aching pain
How long, how long, how long?


I'm sad and lonely the whole day through
Why don′t you write me and tell me the news
You've left me, you've left me
Singing the how long blues
Oh how long?

If I could hold her
Like a mountain jack
I climb the highest mountain
And I call my baby back
How long, baby, how long?

How long, how long
Has that evening train been gone?
How long, baby how long?
How long, how long, how long,
How long, oh oh how long?
