[Intro]
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye

[Verse 1]
(Goodbye) I hate to see you go
(Goodbye) You're goin' up the loggin' road
(Goodbye) Bless my soul, it's starting to snow

[Refrain]
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, oh

[Verse 2]
(Goodbye) Whoa, I hate to see you go
(Goodbye) You're goin' up the loggin' road
(Goodbye) You're moving out so slow
(Goodbye) Swing your partner do-si-do

[Refrain]
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

[Verse 3]
(Goodbye) Don't forget your hat, my love
(Goodbye) I just won't have you goin' out looking like that, my love
(Goodbye) Look out for the bears
(Goodbye) There's gonna be a lot of strangeness there
(Goodbye) And whatever you do don't go to sleep, don't lie down
(Goodbye) Don't do the final thing
Oh, and if I come looking for you up the loggin' road
(Goodbye) If I find you fallen down should I fall?
Should I kneel? Should I cover you?
(Goodbye) Should I keep you from the cold?
[Chorus]
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

[Post-Chorus]
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye

[Verse 3]
(Goodbye) What's that?
You say you forgot the sweet familiar?
(Goodbye) Tears a-clinking?
Yeah, it's getting pretty cold as it
(Goodbye) And as you move up into the forest
As you move between the thin, the trees
(Goodbye) You'll be, you'll be in good hands
You can do whatever you please
(Goodbye) Anything you say, anything you do
(Goodbye) Anything you say, anything you do

[Chorus]
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
[Outro]
This ain't no dying of the light
This ain't no final boarding call
This ain't no swan song
This is the promise of all
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, oh
