the weavers - so long (it's been good to know yuh) lyrics

>
i’ve sung this song, but i’ll sing it again
of the people i’ve met and the places i’ve been
some of the troubles that bothered my mind
and a lot of good people that i’ve left behind, singing

so long, it’s been good to know ya
so long, it’s been good to know ya
so long, it’s been good to know ya
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 ya
so long, it’s been good to know ya
so long, it’s been good to know ya
what a long time since i’ve been home
and i’ve gotta be driftin’ along

well, i went to your family, i asked them for you
they all said, “take her, oh, take her, please do”
she can’t cook or sew and she won’t scrub your floor
so i put on my coat, tiptoed out the door, singing

so long, it’s been good to know ya
so long, it’s been good to know ya
so long, it’s been good to know ya
what a long time since i’ve been home
and i’ve gotta be driftin’ along

my telephone rang and it jumped off the wall
that was the preacher makin’ a call
he said, “kind friends, this may be the end,”
you’ve got your last chance at salvation of sin
well, the church was jammed, and the church, it was packed
the pews were so crowded from the front to the back
that the preacher could not read a word of his text
so he folded his specs, took up the collection
so long, it’s been good to know ya
so long, it’s been good to know ya
so long, it’s been good to know ya
what a long time since i’ve been home…
and i’ve gotta be driftin’ along
