How long baby, how long has that evening train been gone?
It's been gone since that blood red sun went down

Thought I heard a whistle and I think I see a train
Deep in my heart there is an aching pain
Said how long, how long, baby how long?

Well look down them tracks and feeling so bad
Lost the best woman that a poor man ever had
How long, well how long baby, how long?

Well how long baby, how long has that evening train been gone?
It's been gone since that blood red sun went down

How long baby, how long has that evening train been gone?
It's been gone since that blood red sun went down
