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
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 bloodhounds on your mind
Don't you know it's the same sad situation
How long, how long, woman will you weep
How long, how long, rock yourself to sleep
Everybody feels all right, 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
Goodnight, baby, rock yourself to sleep
Sleep tight, baby, rock yourself to sleep
Bye, bye, baby, rock yourself to sleep
