So long, darling - oh how I hate to see you go
So long, darling - how I hate to see you go
Say bye-bye to you baby
Ain't gonna let my happy home
So many sad, sad, sad years, baby, but I've had a lot
of fun
So many sad, sad, sad years - I've had my fun
But the day I met you, darling
All my troubles have begun
I've got to leave you, baby - I don't care what you
say
Leave you, darling - come back home one sunny day
Down the road, down the road I go
I'm going to find myself a little woman - people to
look after all my cares
So long - baby, I hate to leave you this way
Baby, baby, so long - I sure do hate to leave this
way
But when I come back home, yes
Baby, baby, you'll know I've been away
