Hope You Understand

(album: The Kingston Trio (Nick Bob John) - 1964)

I hope you understand I've a long way to go. Hope you understand because I told you so
Well, as the people say, I will be coming back this way, but until then, gal, you're on your own

I'm not the kind of guy just for hanging 'round. I'm bored to tears with this old town
Well, if you behave, hey, I'll send you a card from Santa Fe but until then, gal, you're on your own

I hope you understand I've a long way to go. Hope you understand because I told you so
Well, as the people say, I will be coming back this way, but until then, gal, you're on your own

I'm gonna walk away. Don't you come on along. I will be singing a lonesome song
It's sad but true but I've just got to get away from you but until then, gal, you're on your own

I hope you understand I've a long way to go. Hope you understand because I told you so
Well, as the people say, I will be coming back this way, but until then, gal, you're on your own

I could never stay upon the shelf where the wind and rain are never felt
But, hey, don't cry. I'll be coming back, by and by, but until then, gal, you're on your own

I hope you understand I've a long way to go. Hope you understand because I told you so
Well, as the people say, I will be coming back this way, but until then, gal, you're on your own
