she's a brown haired girl
with a pretty, pretty smile
and if you asked me
i wish she'd stay for a while
but no, no no no
she's gone away
i asked her not to leave
but she said she had to go
told me where she's going
but i don't think she knows
woah, woah woah woah
she's gone away
goodbye, goodbye my friend
goodbye, till we meet again
i called her on the phone
to see if things were working out
but she didn't answer then
and she won't answer now
oh, oh oh oh
she's gone away
as she walked out the door
i asked her if she cared
when i'm old and sixty four
will she still be there?
i tried for several years
just to get a glimpse of her
people knew her name
but they couldn't tell me more
no, no no no
she's gone away
goodbye, goodbye my friend
goodbye, goodbye my friend
goodbye, goodbye my friend
goodbye, till we meet again
