Been in the Pen

Been in the pen so long
 Honey, I'll be long gone
 Been in the pen and I gotta go back again
 My little honey, where you been so long?
 Baby, where you been so long?
 Awful lonesome, all alone and blue
 Awful lonesome, all alone and blue
 All alone and blue, no one to tell my troubles to
 Honey, where you been so long?
 Baby, where you been so long?
 Some folks like Memphis, Tennessee
 Some folks like Memphis, Tennessee
 Some folks like Memphis, but New Orleans is the place for me
 Honey, where you been so long?
 Baby, where you been so long?
 Been in the pen so long
 Honey, I'll be long gone
 Been in the pen, lo' I gotta go back again
 Honey, where you been so long?
 Baby, where you been so long?
