Problem with starter solenoid sticking

I've always had this problem. The starter solenoid sticks when starting it and it just cranks and cranks. It's even engaged on its own and I go outside and it's sitting there cranking. I bought a new switch but never installed it because I read in the forums it probably wasn't the switch but was another problem. Had a car that did that it was the ignition switch. But when it did it this last time I unplugged the start switch and it kept on like the contacts had welded together. Disconnected the battery cable to get it to quit. Now I wait 10-15 minutes reconnect the cable it's fine, but my battery is running down or entirely different problem. When I first went to start it before it did that it sounded like the battery was low. It's a brand new battery. Then it picked up and cranked but stuck. It is a brand new solenoid, used it maybe 10 times. Any help greatly appreciated.
