Odetta — Been in the Pen

Been in the pen so long Honey, I'll be long gone Been in the pen and I gotta go back again My little honey, where you been so long? Baby, where you been so long? Awful lonesome, all alone and blue Awful lonesome, all alone and blue All alone and blue, no one to tell my troubles to Honey, where you been so long? Baby, where you been so long? Some folks like Memphis, Tennessee Some folks like Memphis, Tennessee Some folks like Memphis, but New Orleans is the place for me Honey, where you been so long? Baby, where you been so long? Been in the pen so long Honey, I'll be long gone Been in the pen, lo' I gotta go back again Honey, where you been so long? Baby, where you been so long?
