Every time it rains Lord I run to my window
All I do is ring my hands and moan
The wolf is scratching at my door and I can hear the lonesome wind moan
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
Tell me baby why you been gone so long you been gone so long now
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
Well the wolf he scratches at my door and I can hear the lonesome wind moan
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
Someone said they thought they saw you roaring down in Reno
With a little girl from San Antone
They say I’m a fool to pine for you hey but what do they know
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
Nothing I want to do oh I guess I could get stoned
And let that past paint pictures on my head
I could kill a fifth of Thunderbird, write myself a sad song
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
That is not the "Wailers" in the background is it?? That bass line is a clean simple one, I love it. Guitar work is sheer Genius... This is one of her best pieces.
I once went to a concert during Waylon and Willies clean shirt tour. Well Willie was a no show but they arranged for Jessie to be there. Best damn concert I've ever been to. I didnt care much for Willie anyhow
