jack clement - ten years lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
ten years ago i was just sixteen
i had a sweetheart and everything
but i said goodbye and went on a spree
i told my sweetheart to wait for me

[chorus]
goodbye my true love i’ll see you next spring
i will be home when the gr-ss turns green

[verse 2]
i took a trip down to new orleans
down the mississippi on the island queen
i took a boat and went out to sea
i wrote my sweetheart to wait for me

[chorus]
goodbye my true love i’ve landed in spain
i won’t be home when the gr-ss turns green

[verse 3]
i got around from shanghai to rome
i never got around to going back home
time just slipped by while i had lots of fun
one day i heard she had married someone

[chorus]
goodbye my true love i waited too late
ten years alone is a long time to wait

[verse 4]
if you’ve got a true love don’t leave her alone
if you can’t take her with you then you’d better stay at home
i had a sweetheart and everything was fine
ten years to wait is a long long time

[outro]
goodbye my true love the fault is all mine
ten years to wait is a long, long time
