Like a blue bird
with his heart removed
lonely as a train
I've run just as far
as I can run
If I never see
the good old days
shinin' in the sun
I'll be doin' fine
and then some
How... long how long
Woman will you weep
How... long how long
Rock yourself to sleep
Well I been doin' time
in lonesome prison
where the sun don't shine
Just outside
the freedom river runs
Out there in that shiny
night with 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
all right you know
I heard some poor fool say
Everyone is out there
on the loose
Well I wish I lived in the
land of fools
no one knew my name
But what you get is
not quite what you choose
Tell me how...
long how long
Woman will you weep
How... long how long
Rock yourself to sleep
How... long... how... long...
Muddy River runs so deep
How... long... how... long...
Good night baby rock
yourself, Sleep tight baby
rock yourself
Ba ba ba bye bye baby
Rock yourself to sleep...
