Lyrics

Says she’s had enough of me, I’ve had enough of her tooI might as well go on and set her free, she’s already turned me looseNo fault, no blame, nobody done no wrongThat’s just the way it sometimes goesSometimes two people just don’t get along, it’s time to hit the road
Goodbye, farewell, so long, vaya con diosGood luck, wish you well, take it slowEasy come girl, easy go
We tried to work it out a hundred times, ninety-nine it didn’t workI think it’s best we put it all behind before we wind up getting hurtNo hard feelings darling, no regretsNo tears and no broken heartsCall it quits, calling off all bets, it just wasn’t in the cards
Goodbye, farewell, so long, vaya con diosGood luck, wish you well, take it slowEasy come girl, easy go
Easy come girl, easy goVaya con dios, good luckEasy come, easy go
