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
What a long time since I've been home
And I gotta be drifting along
I've sung this song but I'll sing it again
Some of the troubles that
The sweethearts they sat in the dark
They hugged and they kissed
They sighed and they cried
and they hugged and they kissed
they talk like this, honey
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
What a long time since I've been home
And I gotta be drifting along
I went to your family, I asked them for you
and she won't scrub your floors
tipped out the front door
It was crowded with people,
I asked the man how his butter was sold
He said, one pound of butter
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
What a long time since I've been home
And I gotta be drifting along
and it jumped off the wall
That was the preacher a -making a call
He said, we're waiting to tie the knot
Well, the church, it was jammed,
the church, it was packed
A thousand friends waited
I rushed her outside, told them
What a long time since I've been home
And I gotta be drifting along
And I gotta be drifting along
