I know you're leavin' babe, 

Goodbye, so long. 

I hope someday somebody 

Listens to your song. 

Those bright lights never ever 

Spell your name it's true. 

Maybe a change of scene 

Will be the best for you. 



So long babe, so long babe, 

So long babe, so long babe 

So long babe 



I know you're leavin' babe, 

Goodbye, so long. 

Pick up the pieces 

And go back where you belong. 

You gave them all you had 

And what did they give you? 

Well they gave you nothin' babe 

So give 'em nothin' too. 



So long babe, so long babe, so long babe 

So long babe, so long babe, so long babe, 

So long babe. 



I know you're leavin' babe, 

Goodbye and so long. 

You never made it babe, 

I wonder what went wrong. 

They never understood your songs, 

Here's what you do 

Just walk away and leave 'em, 

And let 'em come to you. 



So long babe, so long babe, 

Yeah so long babe, so long babe 

So long babe, so long babe, 

So long babe 

So long babe, 

Ah so long babe 

So long babe 

Mmm So long babe
