Read Time:1 Minute, 33 Second

Baby, how long
Baby how long
Have that evnin train been gone
Baby, how long, how long, baby how long

Hear it was so
Cant see no train
But deep in my heart I feel and achin pain
And thats a-how long, how long, babe how long

Into the station
Look up at the board
Next train around
Strawberry Road
How long, how, woo, baby how long

Make it wail evrybody yeah, so sweet

Down atta station
With my head hung down
Lookin at my sugar, when she leave this town
Baby, how long, how long, baby how long

I aint got no money
Buy a ticket on a train
But Ill ride de blinds, baby
Be back home, again
Well, how long, how long, baby how long

See me comin
Gon get some plow work
Ill cut your liver
Plug your heartache
Been so long, woo swoo, baby how long

Sonny, wail about it

Feelin bad, Im lookin sad
Thinkin bout the bad luck, Sonny
I once have had
But how long, how long, honey how long

See the green grass, growin on a hill
Never seen no green grass on a dollar bill
How long, how long, baby how long

Lower you, baby
To a hollow tree
Way you treat me
Come back to you
Hoo, low, hoo, woo, baby gone

Make it wail evrybody, now

Feel so disgusted, I feel so blue
Sometimes Sonny, I dont know
What in the world Im gonna do
Now, how long, how long, yeah how long

See that little house, sitting on the hill
You dont love me, goin try another who will
How long, how long baby, how long

See my baby, tell her Ill be runnin home
Ive been worried, ever since she been gone
How long, how, woo, baby how long

Love to see ya

Play for me, now
