Farewell

[Verse 1] So it's fare thee well, my darling true I'm leavin' in the first hour of the morn I'm bound off for the bay of Mexico Or maybe the coast of Californ [Chorus] So it's fare thee well, my own true love We'll meet another day, another time It ain't the leavin' that's grievin' me But my true love who's bound to stay behind [Verse 2] Oh, the weather is against me and the wind blows hard And the rain, she's a-turnin' into hail And I still might strike it lucky on a highway goin' west But I'm travelin' on a path beaten trail [Chorus] So it's fare thee well, my own true love We'll meet another day, another time It ain't the leavin' that's grievin' me But my true love who's bound to stay behind [Verse 3] I will write you a letter from time to time As I'm ramblin', you can travel with me too With my head and my heart, and my hands, my love I will send what I learn back home to you [Chorus] So it's fare thee well, my own true love We'll meet another day, another time It ain't the leavin' that's grievin' me But my true love who's bound to stay behind [Instrumental Break] [Verse 4] I will tell you of the laughter and of the troubles Be them somebody else's or my own With my hands in my pockets and my coat collar high I will travel unnoticed and unknown [Chorus] So it's fare thee well, my own true love We'll meet another day, another time It ain't the leavin' that's grievin' me But my true love who's bound to stay behind It ain't the leavin' that's grievin' me But my true love who's bound to stay behind
