How Long How Long Blues, Pt. 3

How long, babe how long Must I sing my lonesome song How long, how long, baby how long? I have been waiting But the mail man leaves no mail I'm just drifting Like a ship without a sail For how long, how long, baby how long Sometimes I think you love me And I feel so glad But you stay away baby And then I feel so bad For how long, how long, baby how long I guess some day you'll find me buried Six feet under the ground And you'll know it's because you quit me For I'll have my face turned down For how long, how long, baby how long You went and left me baby And I do the best I can But if you had to quit me Why steal some other woman's man? For how long, how long, baby how long Last night I heard a hound dog babe And I felt so blue Cause I dreamt he was in the graveyard Looking down at you For how long, how long, baby how long Sometimes I get to dreaming That you're coming back And I go down to the station Stand gazin' up the track For how long, how long, baby how long
