How Long, How Long Blues (Traditional Version) Lyrics

How long, how long, has that evenin' train been gone?How long, how long, baby how long.Heard the whistle blowin', couldn't see the trainWay down in my heart I had an achin' pain.How long, How long, how long.If I could holler like a mountain jackI'd go up on the mountain and call my baby back.I went up on the mountain, looked as far as I could seeThe man had my woman and the blues had poor me.I can see the green grass growin' on the hillBut I ain't seen the green grass on a dollar bill.I'm goin' down to Georgia, been up in TennesseeSo look me over baby, last you'll see of me.The brook runs into the river, river runs into the seaIf I don't run into my baby, a train is goin' to run into me.
