How Long Blues

How long? Baby how long
Has that evenin' train been gone
How long? How long?
Baby how long?

I can see the green grass
Up on the hill
But I ain't seen the green back
On a dollar bill
And so long, so long
Baby so long

How long? Baby how long?
Must I keep my clothes in pawn
How long? How long?
Baby how long?

And if I could holler, like I was a mountain jack
I'd go up on the mountain and I'd call my baby back
How long? How long?
Baby how long?

How long? Baby how long
Has that evenin' train been gone
So long so long
Baby so long

How long? Baby how long?
Must I keep my clothes in pawn
How long? How long?
Baby how long?

And if I could holler, like I was a mountain jack
I'd go up on the mountain and I'd call my baby back
How long? How long?
Baby how long?
