Farewell, farewell, is lonely song,
And always brings a sigh;
But give to me when ov'd ones part,
That good old word-good-by.
FAREWELL farewell, may do for the gay,
When pleasures throng is nigh;
But give to me that good old word
Which comes from the heart-good on!
Adieu adieu, is often heard
With tear, perhaps with sigh;
But the heart feels most when the lips move not
And the eye speaks the gentle-good by!
Adeu, adieu, is often heard
With tear in a lovers eye;
Adieu, adieu, she speaks it not,
But my love-good by! GOOD BY!
