I've Been A Long Time Leaving / But I'll Be A Long Time Gone Lyrics

(Roger Miller)

Incognito Bandito

Well, I woke up this mornin�, it was drizzlin� rain
Around the curve come a passenger train
Heard somebody yodel and a hobo moan
Hey, Jimmy, he dead, he been a long time gone
He been a long time gone
A long time gone

If you wanna get to Heaven, gotta D-I-E
You gotta put on your coat and T-I-E
You wanna get the rabbit out the L-O-G
You gotta make a cold motion like a D-O-G
Yeah, like a D-O-G
Like a D-O-G

I got a good woman, what�s the matter with me?
What makes me wanna love every woman I see?
I was triflin� when I met her, now I�m triflin� again
Every woman, she see look like a place I came in
Look like a place I came in
Place I came in

Well, I got my name painted on my shirt
I ain�t no ordinary dude, I don�t have to work
I don�t have to work
I don�t have to work

Hey
Oh

I woke up this mornin�, it was drizzlin� rain
�Round the curve come a passenger train
Heard somebody yodel and a hobo moan
I said, Jimmy, he dead, been a long time gone
He been a long time gone
Yeah, long time gone

And if you wanna get to Heaven, gotta D-I-E
Man, you gotta put on your coat and T-I-E
You wanna get the rabbit out the L-O-G
Gonna make a cold motion like a D-O-G
Like a D-O-G
Yeah, like a D-O-G

How�s it been, you all?
