How Long - Ben Webster

How long, baby, how long

Have that evening train been gone?

How long, how long, baby, how long?

I went up on the mountain, and what did I see?

I saw my baby waiting there for me

How long, how long, baby, how long?

Well, if I could holler like a mountain jack

I’d mountain and call my baby back

How long, how long, baby, how long?

The mailman passed, but he didn’t leave no news

But he left me singing those low-down blues

How long, how long, baby, how long?

Baby, baby, baby, how long?
