24 Hours Songtext
von Eddie Boyd

Well, I′m sittin' here waitin′
For her to call me on the phone
I'm sittin' here waitin′
For her to call me on the phone
She′s been gone twenty-four hours
And that's twenty-three hours too long

First eight hours I was rollin′ and tumblin'
I couldn′t hardly stay in bed
Next mornin' I tried to eat my breakfast
And the blues was all in my bread

I′m sittin' here waitin'
For her to call me on the phone
She′s been gone twenty-four hours
And that′s twenty-three hours too long


Next eight hours I spent ramblin'
Goin′ from place to place
No matter what I looked at
I could still see my baby's face

I′m sittin' here waitin′
For her to call me on the phone
She's been gone twenty-four hours
And that's twenty-three hours too long

Next eight hours I spent prayin′
Prayin′ for her to return
If she don't come back to me
You know my heart will forever yearn

I′m sittin' here waitin′
For her to call me on the phone
She's been gone twenty-four hours
And that′s twenty-three hours too long
