Won't Be Long

Baby, here I am
By the railroad tracks
Waiting for my baby
Because he’s coming back
Coming back to me
On the 503
And it won’t be long
No, it won’t be long
I’ve been so lonesome
Since the man has been gone
There isn’t a thing worth mentioning
Nothing been going on
And that’s why I know
When the whistle blows
Yeah, that it won’t be long
No, no, it won’t be long
My daddy told me
When he said goodbye
Yes, he did
«I'll be back, baby
Baby, by and by,»
And that’s why I waited
So doggone long, yeah
Can’t you see how happy I am?
Because the man is coming home
I haven’t had no loving
Since you know when
He’s a long-gone rooster
And I’m a lonesome hen
Mmm, and I’m so excited
My knees are shaking, yeah
Mr. Engineer
Don’t you keep me waiting!
You hear me?
Telling you:
Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry!
Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry!
Ahh, yeah, I know
When the whistle blows
Hey, that it won’t be long
No, no, it won’t be long
I don’t know about you, but
I know, yeah, I know
That it won’t be long
No, no, it won’t be long
Said it won’t be long
No, it won’t be long
