(by Leroy Carr)

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

Went to the station, didn´t see no train.
Down in my heart, I have an aching pain.
How long, how how long, baby how long?

I feel disgusted, I feel so bad
Thinking ´bout the good time that I once had had.
How long, how how long, baby how long?

I could see the green grass growing on the hill;
I ain´t seen no greenback on a dollar bill.
How long, how how long, baby how long?

You´re gonna be sorry you feel so blue.
When you want me, baby, I declare I want, want you.
How long, how how long, baby how long?

Don´t have no money for to ride the train.
I would ride the rugs, baby, to be with you again.
How long, how how long, baby how long?

How long, baby how long
Must I keep my, my watching point?
How long, how how long, baby how long?
