Like a blue bird with his heart removed lonely as a train

I've run just as far as I can run

If I never see the good old days shinin' in the sun

I'll be doin' fine and then some

How long how long

Woman will you weep

How long how long

Rock yourself to sleep

Well I been doin' time in lonesome prison where the sun don't shine

Just outside the freedom river runs

Out there in that shiny night with blood hounds on your mind

Don't you know it's the same sad situation

How long how long

Woman will you weep

How long how long

Rock yourself to sleep

Everybody feels alright you know

I heard some poor fool say （Somebody Ooooo）

Everyone is out there on the loose

Well I wish I lived in the land of fools no one knew my name

But what you get is not quite what you choose

Tell me how long how long

Woman will you weep

How long how long

Rock yourself to sleep

How long how long （long and drawn out）

Muddy River runs so deep

How long how long （long and drawn out）

Good night baby rock yourself to sleep

Sleep tight baby rock yourself to sleep

B-B-B Bye bye baby Rock yourself to sleep
