I've sung this old song
and I'll sing it again
Of the people I've met
and the places I've seen
Of some of the troubles
that bother my mind
And a good lot of people
that I've left behind
Sing it
So long, it's been good to know you
So long, it's been good to know you
So long, it's been good to know you,
but a long time since I've been home
And I've got to be driftin' along
I walked down the street
to the grocery store
Just crowded with people,
both rich and both poor
I asked the man how his butter was sold
He said, one pound of butter
costs two pounds of gold
I said, so long, it's been good to know you
So long, it's been good to know you
So long, it's been good to know you
Been a long time since I've been home
And it's hard to be justin' alone
On top of old Smoky
I'm covered in snow
I lost my true lover
I've caught into slow,
I've caught into pleasure,
I've caught into greed,
And a false -hearted lover
is worse than a thief.
Yeah, it's good, innit?
Oh, lovely.
Down in the valley.
Oh, lovely.
Down in valley.
One, two, down in the valley,
valley so low,
hang your head over, it will blow,
if you don't love me,
love whom you please,
but throw your arms around me,
not you Liz, if my heart
Down in the valley,
the valley's no low
Hang your head over,
hear the wind blow
So long, it's been good to know you
So long, it's been good
to know you
It's been a long time since
I've been home
Nine hours
And I gotta be drifting along
Gotta be drifting along
