Sittin' by the window, waitin' for the dawn
Waitin' for a girl, a long time gone
Long time gone is a lonesome sound

Long time blues is a hard way down

Walkin' by the river, walkin' in the rain
Down by the depot waitin' for the train
Long time gone is the evening train

Long time blues is an achin' pain
Long time blues is an achin' pain

Listen to the sparrow singin' their song
Listen for a voice a long time gone
Long time gone is a silent song

Long time blues keep comin' on

Sittin' by the window, waitin' for the dawn
Waitin' for a girl, a long time gone
Long time gone is a lonesome sound

Long time blues is a hard way down
Long time blues is a hard way down
