ARETHA FRANKLIN - Won't Be Long lyrics
rate meBaby, here I am<br />
By the railroad track<br />
Waiting for my baby<br />
He's coming back<br />
<br />
Coming back to me<br />
On the 503<br />
And I won't be long<br />
No, I won't be long<br />
<br />
I get so lonesome<br />
Since the man has been gone<br />
There ain't a thing worth mentioning<br />
Nothing been going on<br />
<br />
And that's why I know<br />
When the whistle blows<br />
Yeah, that I won't be long<br />
No, no, I won't be long<br />
<br />
My daddy told me<br />
When he said goodbye, yes, he did<br />
"I'll be back, baby<br />
Baby, bye and bye"<br />
<br />
And that's why I waited<br />
So doggone long, yeah<br />
Can't you see how happy I am?<br />
Because the man is coming home<br />
<br />
So now, here I be<br />
By the railroad track<br />
Oh, waiting for my baby<br />
He's coming back<br />
<br />
Coming back to me<br />
On the 503<br />
Yeah, and I won't be long<br />
No, no, I won't be long<br />
<br />
I ain't had no loving<br />
Since you know when<br />
He's a long gone rooster<br />
And I'm a lonesome hen<br />
<br />
And that's why I'm sure<br />
When the whistle blows<br />
Yeah, that I won't be long<br />
No, no, I won't be long<br />
<br />
I'm so excited<br />
My knees are shaking, yeah<br />
Mr. Engineer<br />
Don't you keep me waiting<br />
<br />
Hear me telling you<br />
Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry<br />
Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry<br />
<br />
Baby, here I am<br />
Oh, by the railroad track<br />
Waiting for my baby<br />
He's coming back<br />
<br />
Coming back to me<br />
Lord, on the 503<br />
Yeah and I won't be long<br />
No, I won't be long<br />
<br />
Yeah, I know<br />
When the whistle blows<br />
Hey, that I won't be long<br />
No, no, I won't be long
