How E long, baby how E7 long,
Has that A evening train been A7 gone?
How E long, how how B7 long, baby how E long? E

Went to the E station, didn't see no E7 train.
Down in my A heart, I have an aching A7 pain.
How E long, how how B7 long, baby how E long? E

I feel disEgusted, I feel so E7 bad
Thinking 'bout the A good time that I once had A7 had.
How E long, how how B7 long, baby how E long? E

I could see the E green grass growing on the E7 hill;
I ain't seen no A greenback on a dollar A7 bill.
How E long, how how B7 long, baby how E long? E

You're gonna be E sorry you feel so E7 blue.
When you want A me, baby, I declare I want, want A7 you.
How E long, how how B7 long, baby how E long? E

  Solo on Verse

Don't have no E money for to ride the E7 train.
I would ride the A rugs, baby, to be with you aA7gain.
How E long, how how B7 long, baby how E long? E

How E long, baby how E7 long
Must I A keep my, my watching A7 point?
How E long, how how B7 long, baby how E long? E
