Songtexte So Long Dad - Manfred Mann

My God, it′s great
To be back home again
The streets are
Not much cleaner

The quaint old home
Town scenery is quaint
No more, just older
Than before

Go up the stairs and down
The hallway to
My daddy's door

Your son is home, Dad
And he′s found a girl
And she's the greatest
Girl in all the world

I think you'll like her Dad
And I hope you do
But if you don′t
That′s alright too

And what's new, Dad?
What′s new, Dad?
I miss my
Dear old dad

My God, it's great
To be back home again
We won′t be
Staying here, Dad

The smoke makes
Jane's eyes tear so bad
We can′t have that

We'll write you where we're at
Jane′s uncle owns a bank
I think, I′ll try my hand at that

So come and see us
Papa, when you can
There'll always be
A place for my old man

Just drop by
When it′s convenient to
Be sure to call
Before you do

And so long, Dad
So long, Dad
I miss my
Dear old dad

So come and see us
Papa, when you can
There'll always be a place
For my old man

Just drop by
When it′s convenient to
Be sure to call
Before you do

And so long, Dad
So long, Dad
So long, Dad
So long, Dad

So long, Dad
So long, Dad
So long, Dad
So long
