Hey there, new friend across the sea If you figure things out, would you figure in me? And how long has that been? Wouldn't it be a thing To live somewhere quietly where there's a breeze And there's a reason for us to be I look at people here in this

You've chased down every last mile Show me the way back home 'Cause I've been out there running For way too long And all that I've learned And just when you think There's always another one I need someone to show me the way back home So many lost souls

How long, oh, baby, how long? Has that evenin' train been gone? Baby, how long? Baby, how long, oh baby, how long? Standin' at the station when the train come by Deep down in my heart, baby, feel an achin' pain Baby, how long, baby, how long If I could

How long? How long? Baby how long? How Long? Baby how long, Has that evenin' train been gone I can see the green grass Up on the hill But I ain't see the green back On a dollar bill. And so long, so long. Baby so long.

You should have told me, Lucy That's a long time How do you do, Lucy? You sure been hard to find I heard you had a daughter six years old And I just can keep from crying Six years and Lucy Lord, have mercy Is she pretty? Has she grown?
