How Long Blues Lyrics - Sittin Here Pickin The Blues - Doc Watson & Merle

How long, baby how long, 

Has that evening train been gone? 

[Chorus] 

How long, 

How how long, 

Baby how long? 

Went to the station, didn't see no train. 

Down in my heart, I have an aching pain. 

[Chorus] 

I feel disgusted, I feel so bad 

Thinking 'bout the good time that I once have had. 

[Chorus] 

I could see the green grass growing on the hill; 

I ain't seen no greenback on a dollar bill. 

[Chorus] 

You're gonna be sorry, you'll feel so blue. 

When you want me, baby, I declare I won't want you. 

[Chorus] 

Don't have no money for to ride the train. 

I would ride the rods, baby, to be with you again. 

[Chorus] 

How long, baby how long 

Must I keep my, my watch in pawn?
