Del Shannon - So Long Baby Lyrics






I see you're laughing and
A-telling everyone in town
That you've made a fool of me
Well go ahead and talk some more
'cause, baby, I don't care no more
You don't bother me at all

'cause I got news for you:
I was untrue too
And I don't care what you say
So go and laugh some more
'cause baby I don't care no more
I got another lover of my own

Step by step you put me down
Always calling me a clown
If you ever go away
Promise that you'll stay
Far, far, far away from me

Now that we played our game
I guess we're both to blame
We tried to break each other's hearts
You had one jump on me
But I jumped twice, you see
It's over now, be on your way

So long, baby, be on your way
I had a ball, you thought I'd fall
You had one jump on me
But I jumped twice, you see
It's over now, be on your way

So long, baby, be on your way
So long, baby, be on your way
So long, baby, be on your way

Del Shannon So Long Baby Comments
  1. I.... M....

    I was lucky enough to acquire my Aunt's collection of 45's in the mid-sixties and Runaway was a well-pIayed favourite - I saw Del live at the Sophia Gardens in Cardiff when I was about 16; absolutely brilliant! I was on my way to work when the news bulletin said he had killed himself. I cried my eyes out and took a day off, just could not face work knowing what had happened. I even remember where I was - Mill Hill Circus roundabout. Some people remember where they were when Kennedy died, or Diana. I remember Del. Thanks for the memories Del, you were simply the best

    He was a man who wrote his own songs.

    Del was one of the greats in rock. He stood tall. I was very lucky to have known him, play his music on radio and on occasions introduce him on stage .. Who knows what was on his mind on that day.;. Jim Slade

    Just love Del. He delivers the tunes like only he can.

    True story. The radio was playing while the family were having a row, complete with foul language, death threats - the usual stuff. This record was playing. I had heard it before. Just before the instrumental break, I said: "Listen to this," and turned up the volume. Everybody started laughing, and that was the end of the row.

    S.... o....

    A man who wrote his own songs.
