How long, how long
Has that evening train been gone
How long, how long, baby, how long
That mean old varmint, cruel engineer
Took my baby, left me standing here
So long, so long, baby, so long
That man used to wonder
But he said that his traveling was through
Now that train gone and fooled me
Yes it’s gone
A pullin’ and chuggin’, a huffin’ and puffin’ along
How long has that evening train been gone
How long, how long, baby, how long
It’s like Monday, my bad news day
You’ll get Monday before you get to Tuesday
Bet my blues on the choo-choo
Now it’s gone
A pullin’ and chuggin’, a huffin’ and puffin’ along
If I could holler like a mountain jack
I’d get up on that mountain and call my baby back
So long, so long, baby, so long
How long, how long has that evening train been gone
How long, how long, baby, how long
How long has that evening train been gone
