[Verse 1] I've sung this song, but I'll sing it again Of the people I've met and the places I've seen Of some of the troubles that bothered my mind And a lot of good people that I've left behind, saying: [Chorus] So long, it's been good to know yuh; So long, it's been good to know yuh; So long, it's been good to know yuh What a long time since I've been home And I've got to be drifting along [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus]
