Why You Been Gone So Long

(M. Newbury)



Ever time it rains Lord, I run to my window

All I do is wring my hands and moan

Listen to that thunder roar

And I can hear that lonesome wind blow

Tell me why baby, why ya been gone so long?



Tell me baby, why ya been gone so long

Ya been gone so long

Tell me baby, why ya been gone so long

Who'll be scratching at my door

And I can hear that lonesome wind blow

Tell me baby, why ya been gone so long?



Someone said they thought they saw ya roaring down to Reno

With another girl from San Antoine

They tell me I'm a fool to pine for you but what do they know

Tell me baby, why ya been gone so long?



Tell me baby, why ya been gone so long,

Ya been gone so long

Tell me baby, why ya been gone so long

Who'll be scratching at my door

And I can hear that lonesome wind blow

Tell me baby, why ya been gone so long?



Tell me baby, why ya been gone so long,

Ya been gone so long

Tell me baby, why ya been gone so long

Who'll be scratching at my door

And I can hear that lonesome wind blow

Tell me baby, why ya been gone so long?



Tell me baby, why ya been gone so long?...
