So Long

So Long(It's Been Good to Know You) (Remastered) - The Weavers

Written by：Traditional

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've gotta be driftin' along

I've sung this song but I'll sing it again

Of the people I've met and the places I've been

Of some of the troubles that bothered my mind

And a lot of good people that I've left behind

Singing

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've gotta be driftin' along

The sweethearts they sat in the

Dark and they sparked

They hugged and they kissed

In that dusty old dark

They sighed and they cried

And they hugged and they

Kissed

But instead of marriage they

Talked 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've gotta be driftin' along

I went to your family I asked them for you

They all said take her oh take her please do

She can't cook or so and she won't scrub your floor

So I put on my coat tip toed down the door singing

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've gotta be driftin' along

I walked down the street to the grocery store

It was crowded with people both rich and both poor

I asked the man how his butter was sold

He says one pound of butter for 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

What a long time since I've been home

And I've gotta be driftin' along

My telephone rang and it jumped off the wall

That was the preacher makin' his call

He said we're waiting to tie the knot

You're getting married believe it or not

The church was jammed and the church was packed

The pews were crowded from the front to the back

A thousand of friends waiting to kiss my new bride

But I was so anxious I rushed her outside told her

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've gotta be driftin' along
