So Long (It's Been Good to Know Yuh)

So long, it’s been good to know ya\nSo long, it’s been good to know ya\nSo long, it’s been good to know ya\nWhat a long time since I’ve been home\nAnd I’ve gotta be driftin' along\nI’ve sung this song, but I’ll sing it again\nOf the people I’ve met and the places I’ve seen\nSome of the troubles that bothered my mind\nAnd a lot of good people that I’ve left behind, singing\nSo long, it’s been good to know ya\nSo long, it’s been good to know ya\nSo long, it’s been good to know ya\nWhat a long time since I’ve been home\nAnd I’ve gotta be driftin' along\nThe sweethearts they sat in the dark and they sparked\nThey hugged and they kissed in that dusty old dark\nThey sighed and they cried and they hugged and they kissed\nBut instead of marriage they talked like this: honey\nSo long, it’s been good to know ya\nSo long, it’s been good to know ya\nSo long, it’s been good to know ya\nWhat a long time since I’ve been home\nAnd I’ve gotta be driftin' along\nI went to your family and asked them for you\nThey all said take her, oh take please do\nShe can’t cook or so and she won’t’t scrub your floor\nSo I put on my coat, tip toed down the door, singing\nSo long, it’s been good to know ya\nSo long, it’s been good to know ya\nSo long, it’s been good to know ya\nWhat a long time since I’ve been home\nAnd I’ve gotta be driftin' along\nI walked down the street to the grocery store\nIt was crowded with people both rich and both poor\nI asked the man how his butter was sold\nHe says one pound of butter for two pounds of gold, I said\nSo long, it’s been good to know ya\nSo long, it’s been good to know ya\nSo long, it’s been good to know ya\nWhat a long time since I’ve been home\nAnd I’ve gotta be driftin' along\nMy telephone rang and it jumped off the wall\nThat was the preacher makin' his call\nHe said, «we're waiting to tie the knot\nYou’re getting married believe it or not»\nThe church was jammed and the church was packed\nThe pews were crowded from the front to the back\nA thousand of friends waiting to kiss my new bride\nBut I was so anxious I rushed her outside, told her\nSo long, it’s been good to know ya\nSo long, it’s been good to know ya\nSo long, it’s been good to know ya\nWhat a long time since I’ve been home\nAnd I’ve gotta be driftin' along
