Every time it rains Lord I run to my window
All I do is ring my hands and moan
Listen to that thunder roll and hear that lonesome wind blow
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
Wolf is scratching at my door and I can hear that lonesome wind moan
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
Someone said they thought they saw you roarin' down in Reno
With a big oil man from San Antone
They tell me I'm a fool to pine for you but what do they know
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
Tell me baby why you been...
Tell me baby why you been...
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
