I Won't Be Long |
| Baby, here I am |
| By the railroad tracks |
| Waiting for my baby |
| Because 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 isn’t a thing worth mentioning |
| Nothing 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 |
| I haven’t had no loving |
| Since you know when |
| He’s a long-gone rooster |
| And I’m a lonesome hen |
| 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! |
| Ahh, yeah, I know |
| When the whistle blows |
| Hey, that it won’t be long |
| No, no, it won’t be long |
| I don’t know about you, but |
| I know, yeah, I know |
| That it won’t be long |
| No, no, it won’t be long |
| Said it won’t be long |
| No, it won’t be long |
