[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Walkin' by the river, walkin' in the rain
Down by the depot just waitin' for the train
Long time gone is the evenin' train
Long time blues is an achin' pain
Long time blues is an achin' pain
[Verse 3]
Listen to the sparrow just a-singin' his song
Listen for a voice a long time gone
Long time gone is a silent song
Long time blues keep a-comin' on
Long time blues keep a-comin' on
[Verse 4]
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
