How Long Blues Lyrics

Jimmy Witherspoon How Long Blues

[Verse 1]
How long, baby, how long
Have that evening train been gone?
How long, how long, baby, how long?

[Verse 2]
I went up on the mountain, and what did I see?
I saw my baby waiting there for me
How long, how long, baby, how long?

[Verse 3]
Well, if I could holler like a mountain jack
I'd [?] mountain and call my baby back
How long, how long, baby, how long?

[Instrumental]

[Verse 4]
The mailman passed, but he didn't leave no news
But he left me singing those low-down blues
How long, how long, baby, how long?
Baby, baby, baby, how long?
