How Long Blues - annual profane heater song

old blues on unplugged DGB cigar box guitar and tin sandwich.

How Long by Leroy Carr

How (I) long, how (V) long
has that (IV) evening train been (I) gone?
How long, how (V) long, baby how (I) long?

I went to the station didn't see no train.
Down in my heart, I have an aching pain.
How long, how long, baby how long?

I'm disgusted. I feel so bad.
About losing what we once had.
How long, how long, baby how long?

I see the green grass on the hill.
Aint seen no greenbacks on a dollar bill.
How long, how long, baby how long?

I feel sorry. I feel so blue.
Why can't you want me like I want you?
How long, how long, baby how long?
