Like a bluebird with his heart removed
Lonely as a train
I've run just as far as I can run
If I never see the good ol' days shining in the sun
I'll be doin fine and then some
(Chorus)
How long, how long, woman will you weep
How long, how long, rock yourself to sleep
I've been doin time in a lonesome prison
Where the sun don't shine
Just outside the freedom river runs
Out there in that shiny night
With the bloodhounds on your mind
Don't you know it's the same sad situation
(Chorus)
How long,how long, woman will you weep
How long, how long, rock yourself to sleep
Everybody feels alright, you know I heard some poor fool say, somebody!
Everyone is out there on the loose
Well I wish I lived in the land of fools
And none knew my name
What you get is not quite what you choose
Tell me how long, how long, woman will you weep
How long, how long, rock yourself to sleep
How long, how long
Muddy river runs so deep
How long, how long
Good night baby rock yourself to sleep
Sleep tight baby rock yourself to sleep
B, b, b, bye, bye, baby rock yourself to sleep
