So long see you 'round 
Know I'm gonna see you round 'soon 
I'll see you in the evening when the sun goes down 
See you in the risin' moon 

Momma loves baby and he loves his ma 
Take him into her arms 
Things get heavy on you when they grow 
And they'll up and be long gone 

So long see you 'round 
Know I'm gonna see you round 'soon 
I'll see you in the evening when the sun goes down 
See you in the risin' moon 

So long James smilin' soul 
Been a good friend of mine 
We drank a lot of beer and we sang a lotta songs 
Time to move on down that line 

So long see you 'round 
Know I'm gonna see you round 'soon 
I'll see you in the evening when the sun goes down 
See you in the risin' moon 

Oh heart what do you say 
Thought we could make it alone 
But the first little girl come and look my way 
You'll up and be long gone 

So long see you 'round 
Know I'm gonna see you round 'soon 
I'll see you in the evening when the sun goes down 
See you in the risin' moon 

Now you're leavin' and you won't be back 
Was only a matter of time 
But you can ride that train till it runs outta track 
Won't get you out of my mind 

So long see you 'round 
Know I'm gonna see you round 'soon 
I'll see you in the evening when the sun goes down 
See you in the risin' moon 

Twilight falls and lights go dim 
Not long for this world 
When I see Saint Peter at the pearly gates 
Have the face of a red-headed girl 

So long see you 'round 
Know I'm gonna see you round 'soon 
I'll see you in the evening when the sun goes down 
See you in the risin' moon 

I'll see you in the evening when the sun goes down 
See you in the risin' moon
