’Long About Now Songtext
von Harry Belafonte

′Long about now, my woman's waking
Shaking the sleep from out of her eyes
Starting a smile so warm
That smile is making the morning sun
Ashamed to rise

Oh, ′long about now, my woman's bending
Tending the fire and setting the bread
Starting a song so sweet
That at its ending that fire is burning extra red


Yes, 'long about now, my woman′s waiting
Shading the sun from off of her brow
Searching the winding road
With eyes that try to find me
And longing after me
′Long about now

Oh, 'long about now, my woman′s waiting
Shading the sun from off of her brow
Searching the winding road
With eyes that try to find me
And longing after me
'Long about now
