So long,
pal,
it's time to say goodbye.
So long, gal, by the tear from your eye.
Now that we are parting,
it's hard to say goodbye.
But I'll always love you
as days go drifting by.
So long, pal.
Oh, do not feel so blue.
So long, gal.
I know you will be true.
Always keep your chin up
and a smile on your face.
For there is no other
can ever take your place.
So long, pal.
There is no time for tears.
So long, gal.
It won't take many years.
So keep the home fires burning,
for soon I'll be returning.
So long, old pal, so long.
Oh, yeah.
So long, it's time to say good -bye.
So long, gal,
dry that tear from your eye.
Now that we are parting,
it's hard to say good -bye.
But I'll always love you
as days go drifting by.
So long, oh, do not feel so blue
So long, gals,
I know you will be, too
Always keep your chin up
and a smile on your face
While there is no weather
can never take your place
So long, pals,
there is no time for tears
So long, gals,
it won't take many years
So keep the home part burning,
for soon I'll be returning,
so long old pal, so long.
