Stood along this lonely track Watching the trains speed along Weep, oh willow weep, let me hear your song So that my soul will be filled with joy My heart and I, It alone knows the hex I bear, so I asked, "How long, how long will it take me to be your man again?" Tell me sister, o-o-o-o-h-h-h how long? (Listen to me) As I try my best not to sigh I still feel the tears on my face I'm hated by you, and you're loved by me Though I can't take it, I try not to break it My heart and I, It alone knows the hex I bear, so I asked, "How long, how long will it take me to be your man again?" Oh tell me now, how long? As I try my best not to sigh I still feel the tears on my face I'm hated by you, and you're loved by me Though I can't take it, I try not to break it My heart and I... It alone knows the hex I bear, so I asked, "How long, how long will it take me to be your man again?" Oh tell me now, how long?
