Blues is a natural fact, is something that a fellow lives. If you don't live it you don't have it. Young people have forgotten to cry the blues. Now they talk and get lawyers and things.

Crosby Stills Nash A Long Time Gone Woodstock 1969
It's been a long time comin' It's goin' to be a long time gone. Appears to be a long time, Yes, a long, long, log time Before the dawn. Turn, turn any corner. Hear, you must hear what the people say, You know there's something that's goin' on here, That surely, surely, surely won't stand the light of day. And it appears to be a long, Such a long, long, long time before the dawn. Speak out, you got to speak out against The madness, you got to speak your mind, If you dare. But don't try to get you rself elected. If you do you had better cut your hair. 'Cause it appears to be a long time, Before the dawn. It's been a long time comin', It's been a long time gone. But you know, the darkest hour, Is always just before the dawn. And it appears to be a long time, Such a long, long, long time before the dawn.
Crosby, 1968

It's goin' to be a long time gone.
Appears to be a long time,
Yes, a long, long, log time
Before the dawn.
Turn, turn any corner.
Hear, you must hear what the people say,
You know there's something that's goin' on here,
That surely, surely, surely won't stand the light of day.
And it appears to be a long,
Such a long, long, long time before the dawn.
Speak out, you got to speak out against
The madness, you got to speak your mind,
If you dare.
But don't try to get you rself elected.
If you do you had better cut your hair.
'Cause it appears to be a long time,
Before the dawn.
It's been a long time comin',
It's been a long time gone.
But you know, the darkest hour,
Is always just before the dawn.
And it appears to be a long time,
Such a long, long, long time before the dawn.
