How Long Has That Train Been Gone (Live, 1978) Lyrics by Professor Longhair

The Last Mardi Gras

1982

[Verse 1]
Now how long has that train been gone?
Tell me, how long has that train been gone?
I ain’t had no real good loving, not since my baby been gone
[Verse 2]
Now which way did it go? You know that I wanna know
Which way did it go? You know that I wanna know
I ain’t had no real good loving since my baby got on board
No
Oh
[Verse 3]
Well how long do I have to wait for you?
Tell me, how long do I have to wait for you?
I’m so doggone lonesome, yes I’m lonesome and I’m blue
[Verse 4]
Now tell me, how long you think you want me around?
Tell me, how long you’re gonna want me around?
I’m so doggone lonesome since my baby left town
Blow!
[Sax solo]
Oh
[Verse 1]
Now how long has that train been gone?
Tell me, how long has that train been gone?
I ain’t had no real good loving since my baby been gone
[Verse 2]
Now which way did it go? You know that I want to know
Which way did it go? Baby I wanna know
I ain’t had no real good loving since my baby been gone
Oh
Oh
