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

[Chorus]
How long
How how long
Baby, how long?

[Verse 2]
Went to the station, didn't see no train
Down in my heart, I have an aching pain

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
I feel disgusted, I feel so bad
Thinking about the good time that I once had had

[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
I could see the green grass growing on the hill
I ain't seen no greenback on a dollar bill

[Chorus]

[Verse 5]
You're going to be sorry, you'll feel so blue
When you want me, baby, I declare I won't want you

[Chorus]

[Verse 6]
Don't have no money for to ride the train
I would ride the rods, baby, to be with you again

[Chorus]

[Verse 7]
How long, baby, how long
Must I keep my watch in pawn?

[Chorus]
