How long, how long, has that evenin' train been gone?How long, how long, baby how long?Heard the whistle blowin', couldn't see the trainWay down in my heart I had an achin' painHow long, how long, how long?If I could holler like a mountain jackI'd go up on the mountain and call my baby backI went up on the mountain, looked as far as I could seeThe man had my woman and the blues had poor meI can see the green grass growin' on the hillBut I ain't seen the green grass on a dollar billI'm goin' down to Georgia, been up in TennesseeSo look me over baby, last you'll see of meThe brook runs into the river, river runs into the seaIf I don't run into my baby, a train is goin' to run into me
