Aretha Franklin - Won't Be Long lyrics
[Aretha Franklin - Won't Be Long lyrics]
Baby, here I am by the railroad tracks
Waiting for my baby because he's coming back
Coming back to me on the 503
And it won't be long no, it won't be long
I've been so lonesome
Since the man has been gone
There isn't a thing worth mentioning
Nothing been going on
And that's why I know when the whistle blows
Yeah, that it won't be long
No, no, it won't be long
My daddy told me when he said goodbye
Yes, he did "I'll be back, baby
Baby, by and by, " and that's why I waited
So doggone long, yeah
Can't you see how happy I am?
Because the man is coming home
Baby, here I am by the railroad tracks
Waiting for my baby because he's coming back
Coming back to me on the 503
And it won't be long no, it won't be long
I haven't had no loving since you know when
He's a long-gone rooster
And I'm a lonesome hen
And that's why I know when the whistle blows
Yeah, that it won't be long
No, no, it won't be long
Mmm, and I'm so excited
My knees are shaking, yeah mr engineer
Don't you keep me waiting! You hear me?
Telling you: Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry!
Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry!
Baby, here I am by the railroad tracks
Waiting for my baby because he's coming back
Coming back to me on the 503
And it won't be long no, it won't be long
Ahh, yeah, I know when the whistle blows
Hey, that it won't be long
No, no, it won't be long
I don't know about you, but
I know, yeah, I know that it won't be long
No, no, it won't be long
Said it won't be long no, it won't be long
Waiting for my baby because he's coming back
Coming back to me on the 503
And it won't be long no, it won't be long
I've been so lonesome
Since the man has been gone
There isn't a thing worth mentioning
Nothing been going on
And that's why I know when the whistle blows
Yeah, that it won't be long
No, no, it won't be long
My daddy told me when he said goodbye
Yes, he did "I'll be back, baby
Baby, by and by, " and that's why I waited
So doggone long, yeah
Can't you see how happy I am?
Because the man is coming home
Baby, here I am by the railroad tracks
Waiting for my baby because he's coming back
Coming back to me on the 503
And it won't be long no, it won't be long
I haven't had no loving since you know when
He's a long-gone rooster
And I'm a lonesome hen
And that's why I know when the whistle blows
Yeah, that it won't be long
No, no, it won't be long
Mmm, and I'm so excited
My knees are shaking, yeah mr engineer
Don't you keep me waiting! You hear me?
Telling you: Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry!
Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry!
Baby, here I am by the railroad tracks
Waiting for my baby because he's coming back
Coming back to me on the 503
And it won't be long no, it won't be long
Ahh, yeah, I know when the whistle blows
Hey, that it won't be long
No, no, it won't be long
I don't know about you, but
I know, yeah, I know that it won't be long
No, no, it won't be long
Said it won't be long no, it won't be long
