Long Gone Blues (GXR Remix) - Billie Holiday

I've been gone too long And there ain't no end in sight I've been gone too long There ain't no end in sight I guess I ain't that strong I'm getting' tired of the fight I've lost my way Can't tell right from wrong I've lost my way, baby I can't tell right from wrong Runnin' out of words to say All I know is I've been gone too long (I miss you, baby) Lord, I start to wonder When this road is gonna end Lord, I start to wonder When this lonely road is gonna end It might be tomorrow It might be just up around the bend (I wanna come home, baby)

I went down to the river to watch the fish swim by But I got to the river so lonesome I wanted to die ... Oh Lord! And then I jumped in the river, but the river was dry. He's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue. I had me a man who couldn't be true. He made me for my money and she made me blue. A woman needs a man that he can lean on, But my leanin' post is done left and gone. He's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue. I'm gonna find me a river, one that's cold as ice. And when I find me that river, Lord I'm gonna pay the price, Oh Lord! I'm goin' down in it three times, but Lord I'm only comin up twice. He's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue. He told me on Sunday he was checkin' me out; Long about Monday he was nowhere about. And here it is Tuesday, ain't had no news. I got them gone but not forgotten blues. He's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue.

I went down to the river to watch the fish swim by; But I got to the river so lonesome I wanted to die..., Oh Lord! And then I jumped in the river, but the doggone river was dry. She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue. I had me a woman who couldn't be true. She made me for my money and she made me blue. A man needs a woman that he can lean on, But my leanin' post is done left and gone. She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue. I'm gonna find me a river, one that's cold as ice. And when I find me that river, Lord I'm gonna pay the price, Oh Lord! I'm goin' down in it three times, but Lord I'm only comin up twice. She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue. She told me on Sunday she was checkin' me out; Long about Monday she was nowhere about. And here it is Tuesday, ain't had no news. I got them gone but not forgotten blues. She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue.

I been gone too long Too long gone, too long I been travelin' hard I just can't get back home Ah it's hard to believe I done all that much wrong I wanna find me a seven Sevens ain't so bad Seven about the best friend This poor boy ever had Ah, you get you a seven One and six don't seem so sad I ain't bein' alone Bein' alone too long I'm sick of singin' this same ol' lonesome song I'm gonna find me a seven and darlin' I'm comin' home It's lonesome down along this ol' highway Darlin' I ain't stayin' here I don't intend to stay You may not want me I'm comin' home anyway When the sun comes creepin' Over the mountain side I at least lay down and tell myself I tried I ain't like somebody gonna sit in no ditch and cry I been gone too long Too long gone, too long Travelin' hard I just can't get back home It's hard to believe I done all that much wrong Too long gone Too long gone, too long Travelin' hard, I just can't get back home It's hard to believe I done all that much wrong Ah, it's hard to believe I done all that much wrong
