How Long |
| How long, how long, has that evenin' train been gone? |
| How long, how long, baby how long |
| Heard the whistle blowin', couldn’t see the train |
| Way down in my heart I had an achin' pain |
| How long, how long, how long |
| If I could holler like a mountain jack |
| I’d go up on the mountain and call my baby back |
| I went up on the mountain, looked as far as I could see |
| The man had my woman and the blues had poor me |
| I can see the green grass growin' on the hill |
| But I ain’t seen the green grass on a dollar bill |
| I’m goin' down to Georgia, been up in Tennessee |
| So look me over baby, last you’ll see of me |
| The brook runs into the river, river runs into the sea |
| If I don’t run into my baby, a train is goin' to run into me |
