The New How Long How Long Blues Songtext
von Leroy Carr

How long, baby how long
Do you think I′ll let you do me wrong?
How long, how long, baby how long

If you don't want me baby
Why don′t you tell me so
I know you love someone else baby
And you can go
For so long, so long, baby so long

And I will tell you
And tell you to your face
That when you're gone baby
Someone else will take your place
For so long, so long, baby so long


No I ain't going to cry
Ain′t going to waste no tears
For if you go away baby
I hope you stay a thousand years
For that long, yes that long, baby that long

You are a dirty mistreater
And you ain′t no good
And I wouldn't drive you back again
Even if it was good
For how long, how long, baby how long

Don′t start that jive baby
Just you leave me alone
Or you'll be setting up daisies
Round some cold headstone
For so long, so long, baby so long

So go on baby
And just let me be
If I never see you anymore
That will be too soon for me
For so long, so long, baby so long
