Lyrics:
First verse
It's awf'ly nice of all you girls to see me to the train. ""So long, Mary."" I didn't think you'd care if you should ne'er see me again. ""You're wrong, Mary."" This reminds me of my family, On the day I left Schenectady, To the depot Then they came with me I seem to hear them say:
Chorus
So long, Mary; Mary, we will miss you so. So long, Mary, How we hate to see you go; And we'll all be longing for you, Mary, While you roam; So long, Mary, don't forget to come back home. So long, Mary; Mary, we will miss you so. So long, Mary, How we hate to see you go; And we'll all be longing for you, Mary, While you roam; So long, Mary, don't forget to come back home.
Second verse
It's awf'ly kind of all you boys to see me off today. ""So long, Mary."" I didn't think you'd care if I should either go or stay. ""You're wrong, Mary."" Yes, I'm going to other lands to dwell, Awf'ly nice of you to wish me well; Hardly thought a soul in New Rochelle would even come to say:
(Chorus)
