Tell me baby, what's done matter now
Today been a long and lonesome day
Lonesome day

Smokestack lightnin', shining just like gold
Honey do you hear me crying?

Today been a long and sad old day
Don't you hear me crying

Tell me baby what you got on your mind
Why don't you hear me crying

Ain't gonna marry, ain't gonna settle down
Why don't you hear me crying
