So Long Dad Lyrics

Home again
And the street′s not much cleaner
The quaint old Southside scenery is quaint no more
I guess I'm older than before

Go up the stairs, go down the hallway
To my daddy′s door
Your girl is home, Dad, she's found a beau
He's just the sweetest guy I′ll ever know
I hope you like him, Dad, I hope you do
But if you don′t, that's all right too

What′s new?
Do you still work at the drugstore?
Is that true?
Still polishing the same floor?
I miss my dear old dad
My, but I'm glad to see you

Home again
But we won′t be staying here, Dad
The smoke makes Jim's eyes tear so bad
We can′t have that
I guess I'll write you where we're at

Jimmy′s father owns a bank
I guess he′ll try his 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 and call before you do

So long, Dad
So long, Dad
Well, so long, Dad
So long, Dad
Ah, so long, Dad
So long, Dad
