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.
Stood along this lonely track
Watching the trains speed along
Weep, oh willow weep
Let me hear your song
So that my soul can be filled with joy
My heart and I
So alone in the fright I bear, so I asked
"How long, how long will it take me to be your man again?"
Tell me Mama
"Oh How long, how long will it take me to be your man again?"
As I try my best not to sigh
I still feel the tears on my face
I'm hated by you , you're loved by me
Though I can 't take it, I will try not to break it
My heart and I
So alone in the fright I bear, so I asked
"How long, how long will it take me to be your man again?"
Oh tell me now
"How long, how long will it take me to be your man again?"
As I try my best not to sigh
I still feel the tears on my face
I'm hated by you, you're loved by me
Though I can't take it, I will try not to break it
My heart and I
So alone in the fright I bear, so I asked
"How long, how long will it take me to be your man again?"
Tell me sister
How long will it take me, will it take me
Oh so alone in the fright I bear, so I asked
How long will it take me, will it take me to be your man again?"
Will it take me to be your man again
