How long baby, how long has that evening train been gone?   It's been gone since that blood red sun went down      Thought I heard a whistle and I think I see a train   Deep in my heart there is an aching pain   Said how long, how long, baby how long?      Well look down them tracks and feeling so bad   Lost the best woman that a poor man ever had   How long, well how long baby, how long?      Well how long baby, how long has that evening train been gone?   It's been gone since that blood red sun went down      How long baby, how long has that evening train been gone?   It's been gone since that blood red sun went down
