Like a bluebird with its heart removed, as lonely as a train I've run just as far as I can run If I never see the good old days, shining in the sun I'll be doing fine, and then some How long, how long, woman will you weep How long, how long, rock yourself to sleep I've been doing time in a lonesome prison, where the sun don't shine Just outside the freedom river runs Out there in that shiny dark, bloodhounds 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) Everyone is out there on the loose Well I wish I'd been in a land of fools, no-one knew my name What you get is not quite what you choose How long, how long, woman will you weep How long, how long, rock yourself to sleep How long, how long Muddy river run so deep How long, how long Goodnight baby, rock yourself Sweettalk baby, rock yourself B-b-b-bye-bye baby, rock yourself to sleep
