Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds - How Long, How Long Blues Lyrics
Leroy carrA traditional song which was a likely inspiration for the train song.How long, how long, has that evenin train been gone?How long, how long, baby how long.Heard the whistle blowin, couldnt 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 jackId 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 aint seen the green grass on a dollar bill.Im goin down to georgia, been up in tennesseeSo look me over baby, last youll see of me.The brook runs into the river, river runs into the seaIf I dont run into my baby, a train is goin to run into me.
