FARE YE WELL, MY DARLIN'
d' to df]o. No. 1302. Mrs. Minnie Floyd, Murrells Inlet, S.C., 1937. Text rearranged. See Co, p. 2155 Be, p. 380.
"I went back to Kentucky in 1934 and met this girl named Anna. I asked her if she3d ever gotten married and she said> No. Since her sweetheart was killed in the World War, she never could find no one no more that she could really keer for"
1   So fare ye well, my darlin5, so fare ye well, my dear, Doirt grieve for my long absence, while I am present here. Since it is my misfortune a soldier for to be,
Oh, try to live contented and do not grieve for me.
2  She wrung her lily-white hands and so mournful she did cry, "YouVe enlisted as a soldier and in the war you'll die.
In the battle you'll be wounded and in the center be slain > It'll burst my heart asunder if I'll never see you again."
[142]
