Won't Be Long Lyrics - Won't Be Long - Aretha Franklin

Baby, here I am 

By the railroad tracks 

Waiting for my baby 

'Cause he's coming back 

Coming back to me 

On the 503 

And it won't be long 

No, it won't be long 

I've been so lonesome 

Since the man has been gone 

There ain't a thing worth mentioning 

Nothin' been going on 

And that's why I know 

When the whistle blows 

Yeah, that it won't be long 

No, no, it won't be long

My daddy told me 

When he said goodbye 

- Yes, he did 

"I'll be back, baby 

Baby, by and by," 

And that's why I waited 

So doggone long, yeah 

Can't you see how happy I am? 

Because the man is coming home 

So now, here I be 

By the railroad tracks 

Oh, waiting for my baby 

He's coming back 

Coming back to me 

On the 503 

Yeah, and it won't be long 

No, no, it won't be long

I ain't had no loving 

Since you know when 

He's a long-gone rooster 

And I'm a lonesome hen 

And that's why I'm sure 

When the whistle blows 

Yeah, that it won't be long 

No, no, it won't be long 

Mmm, and I'm so excited 

My knees are shaking, yeah

Waiting for my baby 

He's coming back 

Coming back to me

Yeah, and it won't be long 

No, it won't be long 

Ahh, yeah, I know 

When the whistle blows 

Hey, that it won't be long 

No, no, it won't be long

I know, yeah, I know 

That it won't be long

Said it won't be long 

No, it won't be long...
