Willie Dixon
Tell Me How Long the Train’s Been Gone
Tell me how long, how long
How long that old train been gone? (x2)

Well the peoples keep on comin’ lord
Comin’ but that old train done gone

Can’t you hear that old whistle blowin', yeah*
Comin' around that curl. (x2) [yeah said during the 2]

Don’t you know lord, don’t you know
Oh, It’s bringin' back, my love

Tell me how long, how long
Honey*, how long that old train been gone? (x2) [*Honey said during the 1]

Yes the peoples keep a comin', comin'
But that train done gone
Oh, oh, it’s done gone
