How Long Blues

—Frank Stokes

Oh, I never never never
can forget that day when you called me baby.
How long, how long
I ain't had no lovin' since my gal been gone

Have you seen my baby, baby.
Tell her to hurry home I ain't seen my good baby.
How long, how long
I ain't had no lovin' since my gal been gone

Now listen at me mama
why did you make me go—o—o baby
How long, how long
I ain't had no lovin' since my gal been gone

I hate that train, train
that carried my baby away and left me standin,'
How long, how long
I ain't had no lovin' since my gal been gone

Now listen at me mama
everything's alright with me, (now) run here baby,
How long, how long
I ain't had no lovin' since my gal been gone

No I never…
will see you any—moooor baby,
How long, how long
I ain't had no lovin' since my gal been gone
