Farewell Farewell

(Richard Thompson)



Farewell, farewell to you who would hear

You lonely travellers all

The cold north winds will blow again

The winding road does call.



And you will never return to see

Your bruised and beaten sons

O I would,I would if welcome I were

For they loathe me every one.



And will you never cut the cloth

Nor drink the light to be

And can you never swear a year

To anyone but he.



No I will never cut the cloth

Nor drink the light to be

But I'll swear a year to he who lies

Asleep alongside of me









Set to the tune of 'Willie O' Winsbury'.



Recorded by Fairport Convention on their LP 'Liege and Lief' also

by Mary Black on her LP 'By the time it gets dark'.
