Big Joe Turner lyrics : "How Long Blues"

How Long Blues
--Written and sung by Big Joe Turner


How long, Baby how long,
Must I keep my clothes in pound?


[Chorus:]
How long,
How how long,

Baby how long?

I can see the green grass growing way up on yonder

hill;
But I ain't seen the greenback on the dollar bill.


So long
So long
Baby so long


Well, I wish I could holler
And I'd scream like a mountain jack

I'd go way up on the mountain
And I'd call my baby back


But how long
How long
Has that evening train been gone

How long
How long
Baby, how long

Play the blues!

Repeat all.
