Howlin’ Wolf

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Oh, smokestack lightnin', shinin' just like gold
Why can't you hear me cryin'? Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Oh, stop your train, let a hobo ride
Why can't you hear me cryin'? Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 2]
Oh, fare you well, I never see you no more
Why can't you hear me cryin'? Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh-oh, who been your baby, sister? I've been gone
A little bitty boy, there they are, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Never seen her baby sister
I've been gone, I've been gone, I've been gone, so long
So long, I've been gone so long, I've been gone so long
I've been gone so long
I never got your baby sister, man, but that just ain't thе way
I've been out of town a long, long time
My, my, a year and a day
And I'vе been gone so long, I've been gone so long
So long, so long, I've been gone so long, gone so long
I've been gone so long, I've never seen your baby sister
No man, I ain't ever seen your baby sister
I've been gone
Feel like a stranger here
I've been gone so long, been gone so long, I've been gone so long
I've been gone so long, I've been gone so long, I've been gone so long
I've been gone so long

[Instrumental Outro]
