Leroy Carr with Scrapper Blackwell - Volume 1: "How Long Has That Evening Train Been Gone", CD A

How Long, How Long Blues No. 3

How long, babe how long
Must I sing my lonesome song
How long, how long, baby how long?

I have been waiting
But the mail man leaves no mail
I'm just drifting
Like a ship without a sail
For how long, how long, baby how long?

Sometimes I think you love me
And I feel so glad
But you stay away baby
And then I feel so bad
For how long, how long, baby how long?

I guess some day you'll find me baby
Six feet under the ground
And you'll always be cross you've quit me
For I'll have my face turned down
For how long, how long, baby how long?

You went and left me baby
And I do the best I can
But if you had to quit me
Why steal some other woman's man?
For how long, how long, baby how long?

Last night I heard a hound dog babe
And I felt so blue
'Cause I dreamt he was in the graveyard
Looking down at you
For how long, how long, baby how long?

Sometimes I get to dreaming
That you're coming back
And I go down to the station
Stand gazin' up the track
For how long, how long, baby how long?
