How Long Must I Wait For You?

Words & Music:

R. Stillwell

 

    A                            D                    A           E

You told me you would me at the station gate for our honeymoon excursion.

    A                            D                A                 E

You told me you would me at the station gate, but I got a different version.

A                   D    A                    D    A

Train number one is gone, train number two is gone,

A                      D       A      D           E         A

Train number three is been gone.  How long must I wait for you?

A                    D    A                      D    A

Train number four is gone, train number five is gone.

A                   D      A        D           E        A

Train number six is been gone.  How long must I wait for you?

 

I got my tickets and a reservation set for two, luggage waiting on the track.

But I got no use for reservations without you, I got to give the tickets back.

Cause train number one is back, train number two is back.

Train number three is been back.  How long must I wait for you?

 

You told me you would me at the station gate for our honeymoon excursion.

You told me you would me at the station gate, but I got a different version.

Train number one is gone, train number two is gone,

Train number three is been gone.  How long must I wait for you?

Train number four is gone, train number five is gone.

Train number six is been gone.  How long must I wait for you?

 

I got my tickets and a reservation set for two, luggage waiting on the track.

But I got no use for reservations without you, I got to give the tickets back.

Cause train number one is back, train number two is back.

Train number three is been back.  How long must I wait for you?

How long, baby?  How long, baby?

How long, how long, how long must I wait for you?
