How long?
Baby, how long?
Has that evening
train been gone?
How long?
How long?
Baby, how long?
I hear that whistle
Can't see no train
Deep down in my heart
There's an aching pain, been there so long, so long, baby how long.
If I could holler, like a mountain jack, I'd go up on a mountain, call my baby back.
She's been gone so long, so long, baby, how long?
I hear that whistle, can't see no train Deep down in my heart, there's an aching pain
Been there so long, so long, baby, how long?
