[Intro Chorus]
A7 D7
How long, Babe7, how long has that evening train been gone
D A7 A7 E7 A7
How long how long baby how long
[Verse 1]
A A7
Yeah, and I stood at the station, watch my baby leaving town
D D7
Feeling disgusted, nowhere could peace be found
[Chorus]
A E7 A A7
How long, how how long, baby how long?
[Verse 2]
A A7
I can hear the whistle blowing, but I can’t see no train
D D7
And it’s deep down in my heart baby, there lies an aching pain
[Chorus]
A E7 A A7
How long, how how long, baby how long?
[Verse 3]
A A7
Sometimes I feel so disgustin' and I feel so blue
D D7
That I hardly know what in this world baby just to do
[Chorus]
A E7 A A7
How long, how how long, baby how long?
[Verse 4]
A A7
And if I could holler, like I was a mountain train
D D7
I'd go up on the mountain and I'd call my baby back
[Chorus]
A E7 A A7
How long, how how long, baby how long?
[Verse 5]
A A7
And someday you gonna be sorry that you done me wrong
D D7
But it will be too late, I will be gone
[Chorus]
A7 E7 A7
For so long, so long, baby so long?
[Verse 6]
A A7
My mind gets a ramblin', I feel so bad
D7 D7
Thinkin' about the bad luck that I have had
[Chorus]
A7 E7 A7
For how long, how, how long, baby how long?
