Song Lyrics

How long, baby, how long
Has that evening train been gone?
Baby how long, yes how long?
How long?

I went to the station
To watch my babe leave town
Feeling low and disgusted
For my baby couldn't be found

How long? How long, how long?

If I could holler
Like a mountain jack
I'd climb the highest mountain
To call my baby back
Oh, how long? Yes, how long, how long?

I hear the lords of wheels and poet
But I see no train
My heart is aching and breaking and I want it bad
But how long, yes how long, babe, how long?
