American Old Time Song Lyrics: 06 The Last Farewell

Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 6

THE LAST FAREWELL
sung by William Johnson.

Tis strange, though I cannot forget,
'Twas just one year ago.
To better lands, though far away,
My little love did go;
Though cherished with the fondest hopes,
Her love I ne'er could tell.
Until it came to one bright morn
I took my last farewell.
Chorus.

Oh, yes, 'twas just one year ago.
And I remember well,
It seems to me like yesterday
I took my last farewell.

She's left this world and gone above
With angels to rejoice,
Where they will welcome her with love
On hearing her sweet voice;
Whene'er I pass that little cot,
That stands beside the dell,
1 ofttimes think of days gone by
When I took my last farewell.-Chorus.
