sterling a. brown - long gone lyrics

Loading...

i laks yo’ kin’ of lovin’
ain’t never caught you wrong
but it jes ain’ nachal
fo’ to stay here long;

it jes ain’ nachal
fo’ a railroad man
with a itch fo’ travelin’
he cain’t understan’. . .

i looks at de rails
an’ i looks at de ties
an’ i hears an ole freight
puffin’ up de rise

an’ at nights on my pallet
when all is still
i listens fo’ de empties
bumpin’ up de hill;

when i oughta be quiet
i is got a itch
fo’ to hear de whistle blow
fo’ de crossin’ or de switch

an’ i knows de time’s a nearin’
when i got to ride
though it’s homelike and happy
at your side
you is done all you could do
to make me stay;
’tain’t no fault of yours i’se leavin’—
i’se jes dataway

i is got to see some people
i ain’ never seen
gotta highball thu some country
whah i never been. . .

i don’t know which way i’m travelin’—
far or near
all i knows fo’ certain is
i cain’t stay here

ain’t no call at all, sweet woman
fo’ to carry on—
jes my name and jes my habit
to be long gone. . .
