The centuries have passed And even though I want it to I know that it won't last Well you've been good to me before But the good got up and went when you went out the door
So I said goodbye Even though I know I'll die I said goodbye to Mr. Mingo
It's not important to me now At least that's what I tell myself When I am feeling down I'm not in love enough to stay But I'm in love enough to know that I should go away
So I said goodbye Even though I know I'll die I said goodbye to Mr. Mingo I hollered Said goodbye to Mr. m-i-n-g-o
So I said goodbye Even though I know I'll die I said goodbye to Mr. Mingo I hollered Said goodbye to Mr. m-i-n-g-o
