Won’t Be Long lyrics

by

Aretha Franklin


[Chorus 1]
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

[Verse 1]
I've been so lonesome
Since the man has been gone
There isn't a thing worth mentioning
Nothing been going on

[Chorus 2]
And that's why I know
When the whistle blows
Yeah, that it won't be long
No, no, it won't be long

[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus 1]
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

[Verse 3]
I haven't had no loving
Since you know when
He's a long-gone rooster
And I'm a lonesome hen

[Chorus 2]
And that's why I know
When the whistle blows
Yeah, that it won't be long
No, no, it won't be long

[Bridge]
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!
[Chorus 1]
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

[Chorus 3]
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
