Adieu, adieu, king friends, adieu
I can no longer stay with you
My love for you runs deep and true
But adieu, adieu, kind friends, adieu

Goodbye, my love, goodbye, goodbye
Now is not the time to cry
This little bird must flap his wings and fly
Goodbye, my love, goodbye, goodbye

Up great mountains and down and down into the valleys way below
And where 'ere it blows, that wicked wind, it blows and blows
And I, and I, yes, I will follow
And I know not much but what I know I know
I know I know that, come morning, you will be yesterday
And I will be tomorrow

Goodbye, kind friends, goodbye, goodbye
Well, ours is not to question why
But for the grace of God go I
Goodbye, kind friends, goodbye, goodbye

Goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
