Mr. Mingo

Centuries have passed
And though I want it to I know that it won't last
Well you were 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
My father said goodbye to Mr. M-I-N-G-O
