California Blues
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
How long how long : how long my train been gone
Been gone long enough : to take you to your good gal home
Tell my wild women in California : where I so long to be
Wild women and whiskey : can make a fool out of me
They can lead me like a little airedale : that's only
seven weeks old
They can lead me to the water : shake my head no no no
The longest train I ever rode : was seventy‑nine coaches
long
But if the man had a‑seed me : around the mountain I'd
have been gone
I was on my way to California : where I so long to be
Honey I'm from Missouri : you have to side me
