"So Long, It's Been Good To Know You" lyrics - PETE SEEGER

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

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.
