Won't Be Long Songtext
von Eva Cassidy

Baby, here I am by the railroad track
Waitin′ for my baby, he's comin′ back
Comin' back to me on the 5.03
Ooh, and it won't be long, no, it won′t be long

I get so lonesome since my man has been gone
Ain′t a thing worth a mentionin', nothin′ goin' on
And that′s why I know when the whistle blows
That it won't be long, 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"
That's why I waited so doggone long, yeah
Can′t you see how happy I am because my man is comin′ home


So now, here I'll be by the railroad track
Oh, waitin′ for my baby, he's comin′ back
Comin' back to me on the 5.03
And it won′t be long, no, it won't be long

I ain't had no lovin′ since you know when
He′s a long gone rooster, another lonesome hen
And that's why I′m sure when the whistle blows
Ooh, that it won't be long, no, it won′t be long

I'm so excited, my knees are shakin′, yeah
Mister Engineer, don't you keep me waitin'
You been tellin′ me hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry
Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry

Baby, here I am on the railroad track
Ooh, waitin′ for my baby, he's comin′ back
Comin' back to me on the 5.03
Yeah, and it won′t be long, no, it won't be long


I, I know, oh, when the whistle blows
Yeah, that it won′t be long, no, it won't be long
I, I know, oh, when the whistle blows
That it won't be long, no, it won′t be long
