How Long Blues
I've been down town in the delta
Down in the delta where I've done been pride
I can stand more trouble than any woman my size
I've tried to teach my baby
I talk to him all night long
I was trying to teach that man
Right from wrong
How long how long how long
How long how long how long
Will he ever learn
To quit mistreating me
He did not love me
Well I knew that from the start
I was trying to break that man into my heart
I would wake up in the morning
I was trying to teach him right from wrong
Then I looked for my baby
My baby he's be gone
How long how long how long
How long how long how long will it be
Will you ever learn
To quit mistreating me
