How long, how long, has that evenin' train been gone? For how long, ah, how long, baby, how long Standin' at the station, watch my baby leave town I feel disgusted, no peace can be found For how long, ah, how long, baby, how long I can hear the whistle blowing but I just can't see no train Way down in my heart, baby, there lie aches of pain Oh, how long, ah, how long, baby, how long Sometime I feel disgusted and I feel so blue I hardly know what in this world, baby, a good man can do For how long, ah, how long, baby, how long If I could holler just like a mountain jack I'd go up on the mountain, I'd call my baby back For how long, ah, how long, baby, how long Some day you're gonna be sorry you ever done me wrong It'll be too late darlin', your man'll be gone For how long, ah, how long, baby, how long My mind goes to wondering, I feel so sad Thinking about the trouble a good man always had Oh, how long, ah, how long, baby, how long
