How Long  - How Long Blues Music: Leroy Carr, Lyrics: Ann Engeberg - Lead Belly How long, how long has that eevenin' train been gone? How long, how long, baby, how long? Heard the whistle blowin' couldn't see no train Way down in my heart I had an achin' pain How long, how long, baby, how long? I'm sad and lonely all the whole day through Why don't you write me and give me the news? You have left me, left me singin' those How Long Blues       additional verses If I could holler like a Mountain Jack I'd go up on the mountain and call my baby back How long, how long, how long I can see the green grass growing on the hill But I ain't seen the green grass on a dollar bill For so long, so long, baby, so long If you don't believe I'm sinkin' see what a hole I'm in If you don't believe me baby, look what a fool I've been Well, I'm gone, how long, baby, how long I'm goin' down to Georgia, been up in Tennessee So look me over, baby, the last you'll see of me For so long, so long, baby so long The brook runs into the river, the river runs into the sea If I don't run into my baby, a train is goin' to run into me How long, how long, how long   alles-uke.de
