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
