Well, well, how long (How long?) How long? (How long?) Has that evenin' (how long?) Train been gone? (How long?) How long? How long? I said, "Baby, how long?" (How long? How long?) Lord, lord, lord, if I could holler (how long?) Like a mountain jack (how long?) I'd go up on the mountain and call (how long?) My baby back (how long?) How long? How long? How long? (How long? How long?) How long? How long? How long? How long? I went up on the mountain (how long?) Looked as far as I could see (how long?) The woman had my man (how long?) And Lord the blues had me (how long?) How long? How long? Baby, how long? (How long? How long?) I can see the green grass growin' (so long) On the hill (so long) (so long) But I ain't seen the green grass (so long) On no dollar bill (so long) For so long So long Oh baby, so long (so long, so long) How long? How long? How long? How long? Well, now if you don't believe I am sinking (how long?) See what a hole I'm in (how long?) If you don't believe me, baby (how long?) Look what a fool I've been (how long?) How long? How long? How long? (How long? How long?) I'm goin' down to Georgia (so long) Been up in Tennessee (so long) So look me over baby (so long) 'Cause this is the last you'll see of me (so long) For so long For so long Yeah, yeah, so long (so long, so long) How long? How long? How long? How long? Lord, the brook runs into the river (how long?) River runs into the sea (how long?) If I don't run into my baby (how long?) A train is goin' to run over me (how long?) How long? How long? Baby, how long? (how long? How long?)
