Songtexte We've Been a Long Time Gone - George Formby
Many
moons
ago,
we
went
to
face
the
foe
in
the
far
off
distant
past
But
now
we′re
all
with
wrinkles
like
a
lot
of
Rip
Van
Winkles
But
we
re
back
home
now
at
last
We've
been
a
long
time,
a
long
time,
A
terrible
hell
of
a
long
time
gone
It
was
the
wrong
time
to
leave
the
little
wife
To
leave
the
little
sweetheart
at
the
right
time
of
her
life
And
when
she
meets
you
and
she
greets
you
With
a
′hello
darling'
now
we'll
carry
on
I′m
going
to
love
you
more
and
more,
the
kids
are
at
school
till
four
You′ve
been
a
terrible
hell
of
a
long
time
gone
You've
been
a
long
time,
a
long
time,
A
terrible
hell
of
a
long
time
gone
It
was
the
wrong
time
to
leave
the
little
wife
To
leave
your
little
sweetheart
at
the
right
time
of
her
life
And
when
she
meets
you
and
greets
you
With
a
′hello
darling'
now
we′ll
carry
on
I'm
going
to
love
you
more
and
more
than
ever
I
did
before
You′ve
been
a
terrible
hell
of
a
long
time
gone
You've
been
a
long
time,
a
long
time,
A
terrible
hell
of
a
long
time
gone
It
was
the
wrong
time
to
leave
the
little
wife
To
leave
the
little
sweetheart
at
the
right
time
of
her
life
And
when
she
meets
you
and
greets
you
With
a
'hello
darling′
now
we′ll
carry
on
I'm
going
to
love
you
more
and
more,
so
hurry
and
bolt
the
door
You′ve
been
a
terrible
hell
of
a
long
time
gone
