     [ Fare thee well, fare thee well, my bonnie darlin ]
     [ Fare thee well, ye must leave here today         ]
     [ For a land so far away, yet alone I shall remain ]
     [ till we meet on that Great Judgement Day         ]     

     Twas a head of grey hair, and a lifetime ago
     when I wandered from old Tennessee
     from the beautiful Cumberland Plateau
     Thats a place where I still long to be

     There I courted a handsome young lady
     that I thought I would marry someday
     But my plans went astray and my heart broke on that day
     when the Lord, up and called her away




     * a funeral for my best friend's girlfriend
