[Verse 1]
Ten years ago I was just sixteen
I had a sweetheart and everything
But I said goodbye and went on a spree
I told my sweetheart to wait for me
[Chorus]
Goodbye my true love I’ll see you next spring
I will be home when the grass turns green
[Verse 2]
I took a trip down to New Orleans
Down the Mississippi on the Island Queen
I took a boat and went out to sea
I wrote my sweetheart to wait for me
[Chorus]
Goodbye my true love I’ve landed in Spain
I won’t be home when the grass turns green
[Verse 3]
I got around from Shanghai to Rome
I never got around to going back home
Time just slipped by while I had lots of fun
One day I heard she had married someone
[Chorus]
Goodbye my true love I waited too late
Ten years alone is a long time to wait
[Verse 4]
If you’ve got a true love don’t leave her alone
If you can’t take her with you then you’d better stay at home
I had a sweetheart and everything was fine
Ten years to wait is a long long time
[Outro]
Goodbye my true love the fault is all mine
Ten years to wait is a long, long time
