How Long Buck1
Skip James
How long, how long has my Crow Jane treat me wrong? So long, baby so long, baby, so long I got to the station, she left town I'm blue and disgusted and nobody been down But hey, so long, baby, so long, baby, so long How long, how long has my Crow Jane been so wrong? So long, so long, baby, so long I could holler like a jack2 I'd go to the mountain, call her back How long, baby, how long, baby, how...? How long, been so long, am I to be treated wrong? How long, how long, baby, how long? I got to the station, she left town I couldn't hardly change her mind How long, how long, baby, how long? Aw, someday you'll be sorry you treated me wrong It'll be too late, baby, and I'll be gone So long, so long, baby, so long So long, baby, so long, has my Crow Jane been gone? How long, how long, baby, so long How long, baby, how long has my Crow Jane been... So long, so long, baby, so long I was waitin' for the mail Hey-hey-hey, hey-hey-hey How long, so long, so long How long, how long am I to call you girl-of-my-own? How long, how long, how long? How long, am I to be treated wrong? So long, so long, so long How long, baby, how long am I to be treated wrong? How long, how long, baby, how long? __________ Note 1: despite the title, James neither called nor considered this version of a popular blues standard a "buck" (buckdance), but viewed the titling as a mistake on the part of the company that recorded it; Note 2: jack, a mulenone.
