It's Been A Long, Long Story Lyrics


Phil Ochs It's Been A Long, Long Story

It's been a long, long, long, long story
'bout the fight to make men free,
It's been a long, long, long, long story
About as long as a story ought to be

So hold your hats boys, hold the fort
I'm here to make a long story short
So it's time to sail in to the port
Time to make a long story short.

It's been...........
About the fight to make the union grow
It's been............
Story that's been told too slow.
*chorus*

It's been............
About the fight to ban the bomb
It's been..............
Should have been a long time gone.
*chorus*

It's been..........
About the fight to keep the hungry lands
It's been............
About as long as a hungry world can stand.
*chorus*
