How Long - Skip James

How long, how long has my Crow Jane treat me wrong?

So long, baby so long, baby, so long

I got to the station, she left town

I’m blue and disgusted and nobody been down

But hey, so long, baby, so long, baby, so long

How long, how long has my Crow Jane been so wrong?

So long, so long, baby, so long

I could holler like a jack2

I’d go to the mountain, call her back

How long, baby, how long, baby, how???

How long, been so long, am I to be treated wrong?

How long, how long, baby, how long?

I got to the station, she left town

I couldn’t hardly change her mind

How long, how long, baby, how long?

Aw, someday you’ll be sorry you treated me wrong

It’ll be too late, baby, and I’ll be gone

So long, so long, baby, so long

So long, baby, so long, has my Crow Jane been gone?

How long, how long, baby, so long

How long, baby, how long has my Crow Jane been…

So long, so long, baby, so long

I was waitin' for the mail

Hey-hey-hey, hey-hey-hey

How long, so long, so long

How long, how long am I to call you girl-of-my-own?

How long, how long, how long?

How long, am I to be treated wrong?

So long, so long, so long

How long, baby, how long am I to be treated wrong?

How long, how long, baby, how long?
