Julio Henriques

Yes! I've loved this particular song & specialy its lyrics for quite sometime! Lol! Yes sometimes you have to say "So Long Its Good To Know Ya" before someone has to asks you to leave ! Unfortunately, the person who I was trying to communicate this message wasn't able to completely understand my request & hung in there & continued to become a huge "pain in the ass!" during my life.LOL! ( I finaly got my divorce too! Lol)sincerely Love is the answer,julio c henriques/artist since 1961

So long, it’s been good to know youSo long, it’s been good to know youSo long, it’s been good to know youWhat a long time since I’ve been homeand I’ve got to be drifting alongI’ve sung this song, but I’ll sing it againOf the people I’ve met, and the places I’ve beenSome of the troubles that bothered my mindAnd a lot of good people that I’ve left behind, singin’ChorusThe sweethearts they sat in the dark and they sparkedThey hugged and they kissed in that dusty old darkThey sighed and they cried and they hugged and they kissedBut instead of marriage, they call it like thisChorusI went to your family, I asked them for youThey all said take her, oh, take her please doShe can’t cook or sew and she won’t scrub your floorSo I put on my coat, tiptoed out the door, singin’ChorusI walked down the street to the grocery store,It was crowded with people, both rich and both poorI asked the man how his butter was soldHe said one pound of butter for two pounds of gold. I saidChorusMy telephone rang, and it jumped off the wallThat was the preacher a’ making a callHe said we’re waitin’ to tie the knotYou’re gettin’ married, believe it or notWell the church it was jammed, the church it was packedThe pews were from crowded from the front to the backA thousand friends waited to kiss my new brideBut I was so anxious, I rushed her outside, told ‘emChorus

I have to admit. Those communists wrote some good music. It was subversive but nonetheless, you have to give credit where its due.

Warren Mandy

Eish, this brings back many a memory, My folks had this 78 back in Rhodesia

Frans Jansen

Thank you, great song for my funeral.

Susanna Scurry

Really has been good to know Pete, a true inspiration.

Woody Guthrie?

I bought a 78rpm of this song by a male singer whose name I can't remember at a church jumble sale in about 1967. I was about 10. Any ideas anyone?

@allenshepard Ha! And just an hour ago you were proclaiming yourself the arbiter of my rights! Listen, if you "smacked" me in real life, it would be the last thing your presumptuous ass ever did. But keep sitting behind your screen thinking you're a badass.

allenshepard

I should smack you upside the head son. Douchebag.

Brundlefly

Oh no, I criticized Saint Seeger, didn't I? I think I'll credit those rights to MLK instead of to a musician, if that's okay with you. You talk about Woody like he's a charity case. How very bourgeois of you, you senile old folkster. Step down off your cross and tell me why this song NEEDED these changes. It was appropriated! Be honest. You knock a song's teeth out, it can't eat on its own and has to depend on benevolent benefactors like yourself. So, uh, fuck YOU. I'm not taking back a word.

allenshepard

You know buddy each of the " Bastards" that you claim are the reason you have most of your freedoms today in America. Not to mention Civil Rights. Woody Guthrie was asked my Gordon Jenkins himself to right new verses for this song. because of the weavers Woody had enough Royalties to give his family a nice life so FUCK YOU

Brundlefly

Each of these bastards should be punched in the face for mutilating this song like this.

pickledpork

I sing this when I think of an old boss of mine!

This group was magic. The blend...the strong female vocal. What was a summer nite during that time without Goodnight Irene, Cruisin down the River, or So Long, it's Been Good to Know You?
