Lyrics So Long, It's Been Good To Know You (Dusty Old Dust) - Pete Seeger

So Long, It's Been Good To Know You (Dusty Old Dust)

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
