^DEvery time it rains Lord I ^Grun to my w^Dindow All I do is just wring my hands and ^Amoan And ^Dlisten to that thunder, Lord can't you ^Ghear the lonesome ^Dwind moan? Tell me baby now ^Awhy you been gone ^Dso long?

^DTell me baby why you been gone so ^Glong? you've been gone so ^Dlong now Tell me baby why you been gone ^Aso long? A ^Dwolf is scratching at my door, Lord, Lord And I can ^Ghear that lonesome ^Dwind moan Tell me baby now ^Awhy you've been gone ^Dso long?

^DSomebody said they thought they saw you ^Groarin' down in ^DReno With a big ol' man from San An^Atone They tell ^Dme I'm a fool, to pine for you ^Gbut what do they ^Dknow? Tell me baby now ^Awhy you been gone ^Dso long?

^DTell me baby why you been gone so ^Glong? you've been gone so ^Dlong now Tell me baby why you been gone ^Aso long? A ^Dwolf is scratching at my door, Lord, Lord And I can ^Ghear that lonesome ^Dwind moan Tell me baby now ^Awhy you've been gone ^Dso long?

^DAin't nothin' I wanna do Lord, ^Gso I guess I could ^Dget stoned And let the past paint pictures in my ^Ahead ^DAnd kill a fifth of a thunderbird Lord and ^Gtry to write a ^Dsad, sad song Tell me baby now ^Awhy you been gone ^Dso long?

^DTell me baby why you been gone so ^Glong? you've been gone so ^Dlong now Tell me baby why you been gone ^Aso long? A ^Dwolf is scratching at my door, Lord, Lord And I can ^Ghear that lonesome ^Dwind moan Tell me baby now ^Awhy you've been gone ^Dso long?

^DTell me baby now ^Awhy you've been gone ^Dso long?
