How Long Blues
John Lee Hooker
Standin' at the station when the train come by
deep down in my heart, baby, feel an achin' pain
How long, oh, baby how long?
Baby how long, baby how long,
has that evenin' train been gone,
how long, oh, baby how long?
If I could holler like a mountain jack,
I'd go up on the mountain, call my baby back
How long, oh, baby how long?
I could see the green grass,
growin' up on the hill
But you can't see a green-black drawin' on a,
on a dollar bill
Baby, how long?
Baby how long?
How long, baby how long,
has that evenin' train been gone?
Baby how long, oh baby how long?
Baby how long, oh baby how long?
