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 --- How Long Blues - Odetta
