How Long, How Long Blues

How long, babe, how long
 Has that evenin' train been gone?
 How long, how, how long, baby how long?
 
 Went and asked at the station, "why's my baby leavin' town?"
 You were disgusted, nowhere could peace be found
 For how long, how, how long, baby how long?
 
 I can hear the whistle blow'n but I cannot see no train
 And it's deep down in my heart baby, there's lies an achin' pain
 For how long, how, how long, baby how long?
 Sometimes I feel so disgusted and I feel so blue
 That I hardly know what in this world baby just to do
 For how long, how, how long, baby how long?
 ♪
 And if I could holler, like I was a mountain jack
 I'd go up on the mountain and I'd call my baby back
 But for how long, how, how long, baby how long?
 And someday you gonna be sorry that you done me wrong
 But it will be too late, I will be gone
 For so long, so long, baby so long?
 
 My mind gets a ramblin', I feel so bad
 Thinkin' about the bad luck that I have had
 For how long, how, how long, baby how long?
