Won't Be Long

Baby, here I am
 By the railroad tracks
 Waiting for my baby
 'Cause he's coming back
 Coming back to me
 On the 503
 And it won't be long
 No, it won't be long
 I've been so lonesome
 Since the man has been gone
 There ain't a thing worth mentioning
 Nothin' been going on
 And that's why I know
 When the whistle blows
 Yeah, that it won't be long
 No, no, it won't be long
 My daddy told me
 When he said goodbye
 Yes, he did
 "I'll be back, baby, baby, by and by"
 And that's why I waited
 So doggone long, yeah
 Can't you see how happy I am?
 Because the man is coming home
 So now, here I be
 By the railroad tracks
 Oh, waiting for my baby
 He's coming back
 Coming back to me
 On the 503
 Yeah, and it won't be long
 No, no, it won't be long
 I ain't had no loving
 Since you know when
 He's a long-gone rooster
 And I'm a lonesome hen
 And that's why I'm sure
 When the whistle blows
 Yeah, that it won't be long
 No, no, it won't be long
 Mmm, and I'm so excited
 My knees are shaking, yeah
 Mr. Engineer
 Don't you keep me waiting
 You hear me?
 Telling you
 Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry!
 Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry!
 Baby, here I am
 Oh, by the railroad tracks
 Waiting for my baby
 He's coming back
 Coming back to me
 Lord, on the 503
 Yeah, and it won't be long
 No, it won't be long
 Ahh, yeah, I know
 When the whistle blows
 Hey, it better won't be long
 No, no, it won't be long
 I don't know about you, but
 I know, oh when the whistle blows
 Yeah, it better won't be long
 No, no, it won't be long
