So Long It's Been Good To Know You

So Long It's Been Good To Know You - Woody Guthrie

I got the news that the war had begun

Straight for the Army Hall that I run

All of the people in my home town

Was a running up and a running down

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

There's a mighty big war that's got to be won

We'll get back together again

The crowd was packed by the railroad track

People was yelling and patting my back

While the engineer rung his bell

I hugged all the mothers and kissed all the gals

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

There's a mighty big war that's got to be won

We'll get back together again

I got to the camp and I learnt how to fight

Fascists in daytime mosquitoes at night

I got my orders to cross the blue sea

So I waved goodbye to the girls I could see

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

There's a mighty big war that's got to be won

We'll get back together again

I landed somewhere on a fighting shore

With ten million soldiers and ten million more

While we were chasing that Super Race

We sung this song in the chase

It was

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

There's a mighty big war that's got to be won

We'll get back together again

So it won't be long till the fascists are gone

All of their likes are finished and done

We'll throw the dirt in their face

And we'll walk away from that lonesome place

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

There's a mighty big war that's got to be won

We'll get back together again
