Long ol' train cruel engineer 
They took my baby and left me here 
And how long will I keep these lonesome blues 

How long how long 
Has that evening train been gone 
How long how long baby how long 

Mean ol' blues come down on me 
They're all around me they're all I see 
But how long will I keep these lonesome blues 

Cruel engineer can't you see 
I need my baby back with me 
Then I'd be rid of these mean ol' lonesome blues
