"How Long Blues" lyrics

Doc Watson & Merle Watson Lyrics

"How Long Blues"

How long, baby how long
Has that evening train been gone?

How long
How how long
Baby how long?

Went to the station, didn't see no train
Down in my heart, I have an aching pain

I feel disgusted, I feel so bad
Thinking 'bout the good time that I once have had

I could see the green grass growing on the hill
I ain't seen no greenback on a dollar bill

You're gonna be sorry, you'll feel so blue
When you want me, baby, I declare I won't want you

Don't have no money for to ride the train
I would ride the rods, baby, to be with you again

How long, baby how long
Must I keep my, my watch in pawn?
