Mason Williams 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 LyricsKeeper
