Farewell Dearest Joel
Farewell dearest Joel
For now I must leave you
Unto the salt seas
I am bound for to go
Don't let my long voyage
To trouble or grieve you
For I will return in
The spring of the year
Like a little sea boy
I'll dress and go with you
In the midst of all danger
Your help I'll remain
In the cold stormy weather
When the winds are a-blowing
My love, I'll be ready
To reef your topsails
Alright fairest Joel
We'll take on this voyage
And sail on forever
To thе end of the sea
No mattеr the weather
I'll always still hold you
The sea salt in our hair
That never ending bond
So, jolly up the roger, lower your mast
Johnny and Joel forever gonna last
Raise a grog to troubles past and yet to come
There's a brave new world they've yet to see
We've missed the hills and missed the trees
And they're off to see the distant land
