Mason Williams — Long Time Blues lyrics

Lyrics

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, long time blues
Long time blues it’s a hard way down
Walkin' by the river, walkin' in the rain
Down by the depot waitin' for the train
Long time gone is the evenin' train
Long time blues is an achin' pain
Long time blues, long time blues
Long time blues it’s an achin' pain
Listen to the sparrow singin' his song
Listen for a voice a long time gone
A long time gone is a silent song
A long time blues keep a comin' on, comin' on 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, long time blues
Long time blues it’s a hard way down
Long time blues, long time blues
Long time blues it’s a hard way down
