Last Night it rained, lord, and I run to my window,
All I do is just wring my hands and moan,
And listen to that thunder,
Can't you hear that lonesome wind blow,
Tell me baby now why you been gone so long.
Ch.
Tell me baby now why you been gone so long
you been gone so long now.
Tell me baby now why you been gone so long.
A wolf is scratchin' at my door lord lord,
Can't you hear that lonesome wind blow,
Tell me baby now why you been gone so long.

Somebody said they thought they saw you goin" down in Reno,
With a big ol' man from San Antone,
The tell me I'm a fool to pine for you,
but what do they know
Tell me baby now why you been gone so long.

Ain't nothin' I want to do, well I guess I could get stoned,
And let the past paint pictures in my mind,
And kill a fifth of Thunderbird
And try to write a sad sad song,
Tell me baby now why you been gone so long.
