JOHN LEE HOOKER lyrics - How Long Blues

(Leroy Carr, arranged by 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?
