Lyrics
1.I’ve got a longin’ way down in my heart
For that old gang that has drifted apart
They were the best pals that I ever had
I never thought that I’d want them so bad
Chorus
Gee but I’d give the world to see that old gang of mine
I can’t forget that old quartette that sang “Sweet Adeline”
Goodbye forever old fellows and gals
Goodbye forever old sweethearts and pals (God bless them)
Gee but I’d give the world to see that old gang of mine
- Last night I strolled to that old neighborhood
There on that corner I silently stood
I felt so blue as the crowds hurried by
Noboby knew how I wanted to cry
