There Is A Tavern In The Town - Burl Ives
There is a tavern in the town in the town
And there my dear love sits him down sits him down
And drinks his wine 'mid laughter free
And never never thinks of me
Fare thee well for I must leave thee
Do not let the parting grieve thee
And remember that the best of friends must part must part
Adieu adieu kind friends adieu adieu adieu
I can no longer stay with you stay with you
I'll hang my harp on the weeping willow tree
And may the world go well with thee
He left me for a damsel dark damsel dark
Each Friday night they used to spark used to spark
And now my love who once was true to me
Still apart fare thee
Fare thee well for I must leave thee
Do not let the parting grieve thee
And remember that the best of friends must part must part
Adieu adieu kind friends adieu adieu adieu
I can no longer stay with you stay with you
I'll hang my harp on the weeping willow tree
And may the world go well with thee
Oh dig my grave both wide and deep wide and deep
Put tombstones at my head and feet head and feet
And on my breast carve a turtle dove
To signify I died for love
Fare thee well for I must leave thee
Do not let the parting grieve thee
And remember that the best of friends must part must part
Adieu adieu kind friends adieu adieu adieu
I can no longer stay with you stay with you
I'll hang my harp on the weeping willow tree
And may the world go well with thee
And may the world go well with thee
