Nick Cave
How Long, How Long Blues

Leroy Carr

A traditional song which was a likely inspiration for The Train Song.

How long, how long, has that evenin' train been gone?

How long, how long, baby how long.

Heard the whistle blowin', couldn't see the train

Way down in my heart I had an achin' pain.

How long, How long, how long.

If I could holler like a mountain jack

I'd go up on the mountain and call my baby back.

I went up on the mountain, looked as far as I could see

The man had my woman and the blues had poor me.

I can see the green grass growin' on the hill

But I ain't seen the green grass on a dollar bill.

I'm goin' down to Georgia, been up in Tennessee

So look me over baby, last you'll see of me.

The brook runs into the river, river runs into the sea

If I don't run into my baby, a train is goin' to run into me.


Mirror lyrics:

If I don't run into my baby, a train is goin' to run into me.

The brook runs into the river, river runs into the sea

So look me over baby, last you'll see of me.

I'm goin' down to Georgia, been up in Tennessee

But I ain't seen the green grass on a dollar bill.

I can see the green grass growin' on the hill

The man had my woman and the blues had poor me.

I went up on the mountain, looked as far as I could see

I'd go up on the mountain and call my baby back.

If I could holler like a mountain jack

How long, How long, how long.

Way down in my heart I had an achin' pain.

Heard the whistle blowin', couldn't see the train

How long, how long, baby how long.

How long, how long, has that evenin' train been gone?

A traditional song which was a likely inspiration for The Train Song.

felt good on my lips

face of an angel

too close to rock

do you hear what i hear

honky tonk side of town

esta tierra es mia

niose

no use running

if the moon fell down tonight

still in love
