[Verse 1]
DEvery time it rains Lord I Grun to my wDindow
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?
[Chorus]
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?
[Verse 2]
DSomebody said they thought they saw you Groarin' down in DReno
With a big ol' man from San AnAtone
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?
[Chorus]
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?
[Verse 3]
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?
[Chorus]
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?
