Lyrics: Leroy Carr
Music: Leroy Carr
How long, baby, how long Has that evening train been gone? How long, How how long, Baby, how long? Went to the station, didn't see no train, down in my heart, I have an aching pain How long, How how long , Baby, how long?
I feel disgusted, I feel so bad Thinking about the good time that I once had How long,how how long , Baby, how long?I could see the green grass, growing on the hill
I ain't seen no greenback on a dollar bill , How long , How long, Baby, how long?
You're going to be sorry, you'll feel so blue When you want me, baby, I declare I won't want you How long, How how long, Baby, how long?
Don't have no money for to ride the train I would ride the rods, baby, to be with you again How long, how long, Baby, how long?
How long, baby, how long must I keep my watch in pawn? How long, How how long, Baby, how long?
