How Long |
| My friends |
| How do you do? |
| Want you listen here a minute while I sing my blues |
| Nineteen hundred, seventy four |
| A river o' blood laid me out upon this shore |
| I don’t know, why I’m here |
| Born with a crack o' thunder ringin' in my ears |
| My heart started to jump an' I began to shout |
| Stuck here wonderin' what it all about. |
| How long (how long) |
| Well, well |
| How long (how long) |
| To that, home (how long) |
| Oooh |
| Tell me how long that road |
| All thing unknown where I must tread |
| All thing, but the certainty that is my dread |
| Many say it ain' no Heavenly home nowhere |
| Up above our heads it just a hole in the air |
| I looked to the East, looked to the West |
| A heart beat sorrowful through my breast |
| Child cryin' «Daddy, what’s wrong with you?» |
| Can’t be satisfied matter what I do |
| How long (how long) |
| Well, well |
| How long (how long) |
| To that, home (how long) |
| Oooh |
| Tell me how long that road |
| Yeah! |
| Though trouble have dogged an' driven me crawlin' |
| I cleave, I cling, one old, un-dyin' soul |
| Lord know I’m holdin' strong as I can hold |
| I’m goin' right to that home |
| How long my friend, I travail |
| A lion’s den, a belly of a whale |
| How long a pilgrim, in this land |
| Death, sin, and the politic' o' man |
| How long (how long) |
| Well, well |
| How long (how long) |
| To that, home (how long) |
| Oooh |
| Tell me how long that road |
