How Long Songtext

How Long Songtext
How long, tell me how long, how long
How long, tell me how much more long, how long
How long, don′t be confused
I'm talking about my 40 acres and my mule, yeah
My great granddaddy, he waited all his life
And my daddy, dad waited too
I don′t want you to get confused
I'm talking about my 40 acres and my mule
How long, tell me how much more long, how long
You see, wait, broke the bridge down
Tell me what you think it gonna do to meet
If you're still confused
Talking about my 40 acres and my mule
Tell me how long, tell me how much more long, how long
How long, how long, how long gonna wait for a mule
How long, how long, wait for my 40 acres and my mule
If you′re still confused
Talking about my 40 acres and my mule
How long, how long, how long, tell me how much more long
I′m tired, I'm tired, feel like getting my rocking chair
I′m tired, I feel like taking a chair
If you're confused
I′m talking about my 40 acres and my mule
My granddaddy died waiting
Great granddaddy died waiting
My daddy died waiting, look like more be gone, dead wind
Tell me how long, tell me how long, how much more long
Well if you're confused
I′m talking about my 40 acres and my mule
40 acres and my mule, what happened to the promise
40 acres and my mule, what happened to the plea
40 acres and my mule, what happened to the promise
What happened to the promise, what happened to the promise
40 acres and my mule
How long, tell me how much more long, how long
How long, don′t be confused
I'm talking about my 40 acres and my mule, yeah
My great granddaddy, he waited all his life
And my daddy, dad waited too
I don′t want you to get confused
I'm talking about my 40 acres and my mule
How long, tell me how much more long, how long
You see, wait, broke the bridge down
Tell me what you think it gonna do to meet
If you're still confused
Talking about my 40 acres and my mule
Tell me how long, tell me how much more long, how long
How long, how long, how long gonna wait for a mule
How long, how long, wait for my 40 acres and my mule
If you′re still confused
Talking about my 40 acres and my mule
How long, how long, how long, tell me how much more long
I′m tired, I'm tired, feel like getting my rocking chair
I′m tired, I feel like taking a chair
If you're confused
I′m talking about my 40 acres and my mule
My granddaddy died waiting
Great granddaddy died waiting
My daddy died waiting, look like more be gone, dead wind
Tell me how long, tell me how long, how much more long
Well if you're confused
I′m talking about my 40 acres and my mule
40 acres and my mule, what happened to the promise
40 acres and my mule, what happened to the plea
40 acres and my mule, what happened to the promise
What happened to the promise, what happened to the promise
40 acres and my mule
