C H O R U S:
So long see you 'round
Know I'm gonna see you round 'soon
I'll see you in the evening when the sun goes down
See you in the risin' moon

Momma loves baby and he loves his ma
Take him into her arms
Things get heavy on you when they grow
And they'll up and be long gone

C H O R U S

So long James smilin' soul
Been a good friend of mine
We drank a lot of beer and we sang a lotta songs
Time to move on down that line

C H O R U S

Oh heart what do you say
Thought we could make it alone
But the first little girl come and look my way
You'll up and be long gone

C H O R U S

Now you're leavin' and you won't be back
Was only a matter of time
But you can ride that train till it runs outta track
Won't get you out of my mind

C H O R U S

Twilight falls and lights go dim
Not long for this world
When I see Saint Peter at the pearly gates
Have the face of a red-headed girl

C H O R U S
I'll see you in the evening when the sun goes down
See you in the risin' moon
