Hope You Understand Lyrics - Kingston Trio

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 comin' back this way 

But until then, gal, you're on your own 

I'm not the kind of guy just for hangin' '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 comin' 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 singin' 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 comin' 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 comin' 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 comin' back this way 

But until then, gal, you're on your own
