Long about sundown, I've gotta be on my way
Sad long about sundown, I've gotta be on my way
Goin' back to my woman and this time I'm gonna stay
Yes, I've been gone for a long time
Wonder if I'm welcome home
Wonder if I'm welcome home
Been gone for a long time
So many things can happen
When a man leaves his baby all alone
Yes, it took a long time, baby
When I knock on the door
To realise what a fool I've been
Well, I said it took a long, long time, baby
To realise what a fool I've been
I wonder will she let me in
