Won't Be Long

Baby here I am

By the railroad tracks

Waiting for my baby

Cause 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 ain'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

So now here I be

By the railroad tracks

Oh waiting for my baby

He's coming back

Coming back to me

On the 503

Yeah and it won't be long

No no be long

I ain't had no loving

Since you know when

He's a long-gone rooster

And I'm a lonesome hen

And that's why I'm sure

When the whistle blows

Yeah that it won't be long

No no be long

Mmm and I'm so excited

My knees are shaking yeah

Mr. Engineer

Don't you keep me waiting

You hear me
