"So Long Jerry" lyrics

I picked up my things and went outside
The man that I loved up and died
I couldn't believe that after all of this time
I never knew the man but he was a good friend of mine

So long, I'll see you down that long, dark river
Floating on that lining in the sky
I'm lucky, lucky enough to have heard you play your song
So long, Jerry, so long

We'll always be together
Rolling down the track
Always and forever
Never lookin' back

I got my guitar and went to the river
Saw a lot of people just dancin' around
I took off my shirt and jumped in the water
You always flew so high; now you've finally left the ground

So long, I'll see you down that long, dark river
Floating on that lining in the sky
I'm lucky, lucky enough to have heard you sing your song
So long, Jerry, so long

So long, Jerry, so long
