What’ll I do when you are far away  
And I’m so blue,  
What’ll I do?

[Someone has been removed](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2-S5a0r7TY)  
What happened to her?  
What happened to her?  
She got lost  
Somewhere between  
There and here  
Somewhere between  
So far so near  
She got lost  
Somewhere between  
What happened to her?

You used to be so young  
You used to be so young  
It was going to take so long  
The day has almost gone

What is his name?

Seems that she disappeared without a trace  
Did she ever marry old what’s his face?  
I made a point to burn all of the photographs  
She went away and then I took a different path  
I remember the face but I can’t recall the name  
Now I wonder how whatsername has been

I’m not scared of dying-  
And I don’t really care.  
If it’ s peace you find in dying,  
Well then, let the time be near.

Everyone has gone away  
Can you hear me? Can you hear me?  
No one cared enough to stay  
Can you hear me?

You must remember me, old man  
I know that you can if you try  
So just open up your eyes, old man  
Look who’s come to say, “Goodbye”

The sun has left the sky, old man  
The birds have flown away  
And no one came to cry, old man  
Goodbye, old man, goodbye

You wanna stay, I know you do  
But it ain’t no use to try  
'Cause I’ll be here and I’m just like you  
Goodbye, old man, goodbye

Goodbye cruel world,  
I’m leaving you today.  
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.

Goodbye all you people,  
There’s nothing you can say  
To make me change  
My mind.

Goodbye.

But I wish there was somethin’ you would do or say  
To try and make me change my mind and stay  
But we never did too much talking anyway  
But don’t think twice, it’s all right.

So long honey, baby  
Where I’m bound, I can’t tell  
Goodbye’s too good a word, babe  
So I’ll just say fare thee well

I’ve made a small fortune and you squandered it all  
You shamed me till I feel about one inch tall  
But I thought I loved you and I hoped you would change  
So I gritted my teeth and didn’t complain.

Now you come to me with a simple goodbye  
You tell me you’re leaving but you won’t tell me why  
Now we’re here at the station and you’re getting on  
And all I can think of is  
Thank God and Greyhound you’re gone.

Here I stand head in hand  
Turn my face to the wall  
If she’s gone I can’t go on  
Feeling two-foot small

Everywhere people stare  
Each and every day  
I can see them laugh at me  
And I hear them say

Hey you’ve got to hide your love away  
Hey you’ve got to hide your love away

Counting flowers on the wall  
That don’t bother me at all.

Where have all the flowers gone?  
Long time passing.  
Where have all the flowers gone?  
Long time ago?  
Where have all the flowers gone?  
Young girls pick them everyone  
When will they ever learn?  
When will they ever learn?

He remembers the first time he met her  
He remembered the first thing she said  
He remembered the first time he held her  
And the night that she came to his bed  
He remembers her sweet way of sayin’  
Honey has something gone wrong  
He remembered the fun and the teasin’  
And the reason he wrote her this song  
I’ll give you a daisy a day dear  
I’ll give you a daisy a day  
I’ll love you until the rivers run still  
And the four winds we know blow away

Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer true!  
I’m half crazy over the likes of you.  
It won’t be a stylish marriage;  
I can’t afford a carriage.  
But you’ll look sweet  
Upon a seat  
Of a bicycle built for two.

I was willow last night in my dream  
I bent down over a clear running stream  
I sang you the song that I heard up above  
And you keep me alive with your sweet flowing love  
Crazy, crazy on you,  
Let me go crazy, crazy on you  
Love that Jud Strunk song! 🙂

If you don’t like  
The world you’re living in  
Take a look around  
At least you got friends

You see I called my old lady  
For a friendly word  
She picked up the phone  
Dropped it on the floor  
Ahh ahh is all I heard

Are we gonna let the elevator bring us down?  
Oh, no lets go!

Let’s go crazy  
Let’s get nuts  
Let’s look for the purple banana  
Until they put us in the truck, let’s go!

Well, come on let’s go  
Let’s go, let’s go, little darlin’  
And tell me that you’re never leaving  
Come on, come on, let’s go-a  
Again, again and again

Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go, let’s go  
Down to Junior’s Farm where I wanna lay low  
Low life, high life, oh let’s go  
Take me down to Junior’s Farm

At the Houses of Parliament  
Ev’rybody’s talking 'bout the President  
We all chip in for a bag of cement  
Ollie Hardy should have had more sense  
He bought a gee-gee and he jumped the fence  
All for the sake of a couple of pence

Yeah, we’re headed to the drive-in on a Saturday night  
Just me and my baby and a six-pack of lite  
Got a pocketful of money and I’m rarin’ to go  
Down to Dumas Walker right after the show  
They’ll be shootin’ marbles in the back of the store  
And laying money down on the floor

Let’s all go, down to Dumas Walker  
Let’s all go, down to Dumas Walker  
We’ll get a slaw burger, fries and a bottle of Ski  
Bring it on out to my baby and me
