How Long Lyrics - B.b. King

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 train 

Way down in my heart I had an achin' pain 

How long, how long, how long 

If I could holler like a mountain jack 

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

I went up on the mountain, looked as far as I could see 

The man had my woman and the blues had poor me 

I can see the green grass growin' on the hill 

But I ain't seen the green grass on a dollar bill 

I'm goin' down to Georgia, been up in Tennessee 

So look me over baby, last you'll see of me 

The brook runs into the river, river runs into the sea 

If I don't run into my baby, a train is goin' to run into me
