Long Time 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.
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 done.
Walkin' by the river. walkin' in the rain. down by the depot
Waitin' for the train.
Long time gone is the evening train. long time blues is an
Achin' pain. long time blues is an achin' pain.
Listen to the sparrow singin' their song. listen for a voice a
Long time gone.
Long time gone is a silent song. long time blues keep a-comin'
On. (repeat first verse)
Long time blues is a hard way down.
